Health Poll Search is a comprehensive, searchable archive of health-related public opinion questions that allows users to know what Americans think and have thought about health issues over time. Health Poll Search is the result of a partnership between the Kaiser Family Foundation and The Roper Center for Public Opinion Research at the University of Connecticut. The Roper Center houses an archive of more than 500,000 public opinion questions dating back to 1935.

The Health Poll Search archive holds more than 85,000 questions on health issues from surveys that have included questions on health. These questions provide information on public perceptions of HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, health policy and health reform, Medicare and Medicaid, women's health, the uninsured, minority health, and children's health, among other health-related topics. Response percentages and source information are provided for all questions.

Start searching by Keyword below or Search by Topic.

 
Search by Keyword allows you to search the actual question text of all questions in the Health Poll Search archive for exact words. Enter in the search box all words that might have been used in a question related to that topic.

For example, to find information about an AIDS vaccine you might enter "AIDS or HIV and vaccin% or inoculat% or shot." The "%" symbol allows you to search for similar words with different endings (for example, vaccin% searches for the words vaccine, vaccinate, and vaccination).
