Womens Health Confidence Gap
Updated: Aug 27
Women have taken the wheel on their own health. 64% say they're more self-directed than they were five years ago. And 84% are paying out of pocket for it every month, a third of them more than $100.
But confidence hasn't caught up. Only 59% feel like they have someone trustworthy behind them. 42% have felt dismissed by a healthcare provider. And the women carrying the heaviest health burdens feel the least supported of all.
