Based on more than 75,000 completions of the Flatten the Curve survey - which Sharecare developed in partnership with Dr. Sandro Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, to better understand community well-being and behavior change during the COVID-19 pandemic - 42% of Americans feel that the pandemic has negatively affected their healthcare access in some way, with nearly 60% noting they would still want to access care with their primary physician if they experienced COVID-19 symptoms. Additionally, according to the Sharecare Community Well-Being Index and data from Area Health Resources, the U.S. faces serious healthcare access challenges apart from the pandemic with 33% of all counties in the U.S. having only one M.D. per 2,000 residents; 44% of all counties without a pediatrician; and 48% with no OB-GYN.
