This statistic is based on a survey conducted in June 2016. It shows U.S. adults' opinions on whether health research has made an improvement on their family health. Some 23 percent of adults claimed that health research has not improved their family's health. New legislation has been announced that would help improve the state of health care and medical research, especially as citizens believe that research is important for development of the economy.
