AI Trust Increases Delayed Health Care Seeking
A cross-sectional online survey in China (Dec 2024–May 2025) of 2,460 adults found higher AI trust linked to greater odds of delaying health care (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.00–1.18; P=.04). Usage frequency partially mediated this link (indirect OR 1.24), chronic disease increased delay odds (OR 1.42), and agent-based modeling showed broadcast messaging reduced delays while network rewiring raised them, indicating reinforcing trust–behavior dynamics.
Key Points
- 1Finds higher AI trust increases odds of delaying health care (OR 1.09).
- 2Shows AI usage frequency partially mediates trust-to-delay link (indirect OR 1.24), amplifying effect.
- 3Indicates interventions like broadcast messaging can reduce delays; beware network rewiring causing trust polarization.
Scoring Rationale
Combines survey and agent-based modeling with peer-reviewed evidence, providing actionable insights; scope limited to Chinese sample and simulation assumptions.
