我们对美国806名受访者进行了纵向评估，以检查有关COVID-19的信息来源的可信度。四个月后再次联系了受访者。信息来源包括主流媒体、州卫生部门、疾控中心、白宫和一所知名大学。我们还研究了人口统计学、政治党派和对COVID-19的怀疑如何与信息来源的可信度相关，以及随着时间的推移可信度的下降。基线时，大多数受访者报告高度信任来自州卫生部门（75.6%）、CDC（80.9%）和大学（约翰霍普金斯，81.1%）的COVID-19信息。不到一半的受访者（41.2%）信任主流媒体，白宫是最不信任的来源（30.9%）。在4个月随访时，观察到所有五个COVID-19信息来源的可信度显著下降。最明显的减少来自疾病预防控制中心和白宫。在多变量分析中，将CDC、州卫生部门和大学评为值得信赖的COVID-19信息来源的相关因素是政党关系、教育水平和对COVID-19的怀疑态度。信任下降的最一致的预测因素是政党关系，与共和党人相比，民主党人不太可能报告所有来源的信任下降。
We conducted a longitidinal assessment of 806 respondents in the US to examine the trustworthiness of sources of information about COVID-19. Respondents were recontacted after four months. Information sources included mainstream media, state health departments, the CDC, the White House, and a well-known university. We also examined how demographics, political partisanship, and skepticism about COVID-19 were associated with the perceived trustworthiness of information sources and decreased trustworthiness over time. At baseline, the majority of respondants reported high trust in COVID-19 information from state health departments (75.6%), the CDC (80.9%), and a university (Johns Hopkins, 81.1%). Mainstream media was trusted by less than half the respondents (41.2%), and the White House was the least trusted source (30.9%). At the 4-month follow-up, a significant decrease in trustworthiness in all five sources of COVID-19 information was observed. The most pronounced reductions were from the CDC and the White House. In multivariate analyses, factors associated with rating the CDC, state health department, and a university as trustworthy sources of COVID-19 information were political party affiliation, level of education, and skepticism about COVID-19. The most consistent predictor of decreased trust was political party affiliation, with Democrats as compared to Republicans less likely to report decreased trust across all sources.
