Majorities of the public report seeing info about weight loss, diet, or nutrition and mental health, but fewer see content on vaccines, abortion, or birth control. Large shares of adults who never explicitly seek out health info + advice on social media nonetheless say they’ve seen this content.

We also look at influencers: 15% of social media users say they regularly get health info + advice from them, but only 5% say they have a particular influencer they trust for this. Influencers named run the gamut from conservative influencers to celebrities, to doctors and health care providers.

NEW from @kff.org: Just over half (55%) of adults say they use social media to find health info + advice, including larger shares of younger, Black, and Hispanic adults. But across all social media platforms, a majority of users say they don’t trust the health info they see.

In light of today's Supreme Court ruling, re-upping this finding from @kff.org's Survey of Immigrants from March/April. Most immigrants disapprove of the Trump admin's efforts to end birthright citizenship, but Republican immigrants are split: 52% say they approve, 48% say they disapprove.

Most immigrants don’t support the Trump administration’s efforts to end birthright citizenship (79% disapprove) or deport more people (57% disapprove), but many approve of sending additional military forces to the U.S.-Mexico border (53% approve). Again, partisanship shapes views.

But across partisans, President Trump gets his lowest ranking on how he is handling inflation.

The latest KFF Survey of Immigrants also looks at immigrants’ views of President Trump and his policies. The big takeaway: just like among the general public, immigrants’ views are shaped by party identification. Most Democratic immigrants disapprove of his job performance, but Republicans approve.

1 in 5 lawfully present immigrants say they or a family member have limited their participation in activities like going to work, traveling, going to a community event, or seeking medical care due to concerns about drawing attention to someone’s immigration status.

Immigration-related fears have negatively affected immigrants’ health, with 1/3 of immigrants saying they’ve experienced worsening health conditions, increased stress and anxiety, or problems eating or sleeping since January due to concerns about their or a family member’s immigration status.

NEW FROM KFF’S SURVEY OF IMMIGRANTS: Amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, immigrants’ worries about detention or deportation have risen sharply since 2023. 41% of immigrants overall say they are worried, as do 23% of naturalized citizens and 61% of lawfully present immigrants.

Yet, many U.S. adults believe immigrants receive more in gov benefits than they pay in taxes, while immigrants themselves say the opposite. 8 in 10 Republican U.S. adults say immigrants receive more in gov benefits than they pay in taxes. More poll findings here: www.kff.org/health-infor...

As Musk and others claim undocumented immigrants are eligible for Social Security, it's a good time to re-up this from KFF's Sept '24 survey: Many people think immigrants can get Social Security and other benefits as soon as they arrive in the U.S. or are unsure.

A majority (57%) of the public expects health care costs for them and their families to become less affordable over the next few years. This includes at least half across partisanship (60% Dems, 59% Indeps, 51% Reps) as well at least half of Harris (66%) and Trump (54%) voters.

New kff.org polling reveals a concerned public as Congress considers changes & cuts to fed. health care programs. Many say the fed. gov. doesn’t spend enough on Medicare (51%) and Medicaid (46%), and many worry that future Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA enrollees won’t get the same level of benefits.

Hispanic, Black and AIAN adults already report having fewer visits with providers who share their backgrounds compared to White adults. @kff.org also finds those who have more visits with providers with their background report more positive experiences, such as feeling involved in decision-making.
