Listening to people to improve health systems: Post-COVID trends in public attitudes on healthcare
The People’s Voice Survey measures a wide range of domains, including health system utilization patterns, ratings of care quality, and confidence and trust in health systems, offering insight on national performance across geographies and income levels. The survey uses a flexible, mixed-mode design that includes telephone, online, and in-person data collection to achieve a nationally representative sample of adults and place people at the center of health system performance assessment.
Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH, dean of Washington University (WashU) School of Public Health and the university’s vice provost for interdisciplinary initiatives, will make opening remarks at the event. Margaret Kruk, MD, MPH, WashU professor of health systems and medicine and director of QuEST Centers and Networks, also will speak and will moderate the session. Todd Lewis, PhD, WashU assistant professor of medicine and QuEST’s research lead, will present the survey findings.
The panel includes Sailesh Mohan, MD, MPH, PhD, of the Public Health Foundation of India and QuEST; Emelda Okiro, PhD, of the Kenya Medical Research Institute-Wellcome Trust program; and Rosanna Tarricone, MSc, PhD, of the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. Closing remarks will be delivered by Kumanan Rasanathan, MBChB, MPH, executive director of the Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research at the World Health Organization.
