Mental Health Awareness Month

Infographic from Research!America titled “Americans Say Cost of Health Care Is the Most Important Health Issue, Followed By Mental Health.” A horizontal bar chart shows responses to the question: “What would you say is the single most important health issue facing the nation? (Choose one).” Cost of health care ranks first at 25%, followed by mental health at 14%. Cancer and access to health care are tied at 10%, opioid addiction at 7%, obesity at 6%, gun violence at 5%, climate change at 4%, and chronic diseases at 3%. Suicide, diabetes, heart disease, and antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” each receive 2%. Pandemic threats, alcoholism, Alzheimer’s disease, HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, and respiratory diseases each receive 1%. “Other” receives 2%, and “Don’t know” receives 3%. Source note states the poll was conducted among U.S. adults in partnership with Zogby Analytics in January 2026.
