2024 Public Opinion Poll on Health & Medical Research & Innovation
The 2024 Research Australia Opinion Poll again reveals strong public support for government investment in health and medical research, with 78.2% of respondents advocating for increased funding. Mental health research, especially access to treatments and preventative measures, was a priority for over 86% of respondents. Additionally, 90.8% agreed more monitoring and research are needed on the health impacts of new products.
Public willingness to participate in clinical trials remains high, with 51.8% open to joining if required for treatment, with trust in healthcare professionals playing a crucial role in participation decisions. The poll also revealed strong public support for government-backed independent research organisations and boosting local production of medical products, particularly in light of global supply chain challenges.
All this and more in the Research Australia 2024 Public Opinion Poll on Health & Medical Research & Innovation.
The polling for this report was generously conducted by Roy Morgan Research, a Research Australia Member.
