Public Trust in Health Information Sharing: A Measure of System Trust.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To measure public trust in a health information sharing in a broadly defined health system (system trust), inclusive of health care, public health, and research; to identify individual characteristics that predict system trust; and to consider these findings in the context of national health initiatives (e.g., learning health systems and precision medicine) that will expand the scope of data sharing.

Data sources

Survey data (n = 1,011) were collected in February 2014.

Study design

We constructed a composite index of four dimensions of system trust-competency, fidelity, integrity, and trustworthiness. The index was used in linear regression evaluating demographic and psychosocial predictors of system trust.

Data collection

Data were collected by GfK C
