摘要

医学阴谋论对公众健康构成威胁，侵蚀了人们对医疗服务提供者的信任。虽然对阴谋思维的心理、社会和进化基础以及干预策略的研究仍在继续，但对医疗保健系统结构的作用的关注较少。本文探讨了美国医疗保健系统的设计和交付如何有助于医疗阴谋论的传播。使用双管齐下的分析框架，我们(1)确定美国医疗保健系统和患者体验的关键特征，(2)将这些特征映射到已知的阴谋论信念的心理和社会驱动因素。我们认为，解决医疗阴谋论不仅需要个人或社区层面的干预，还需要医疗保健的结构性改革。因此，研究者应该探索系统变革在减轻阴谋思想方面的可行性和影响。

The US healthcare system facilitates medical conspiracy theories: A call to action

Medical conspiracy theories pose a public health risk and erode trust in healthcare providers. While research continues on the psychological, social, and evolutionary foundations of conspiratorial thinking, as well as on intervention strategies, less attention has been given to the role of healthcare system structures. This paper examines how the design and delivery of the U.S. healthcare system contribute to the spread of medical conspiracy theories. Using a two-pronged analytical framework, we (1) identify key features of the U.S. healthcare system and patient experience and (2) map these features onto known psychological and social drivers of conspiratorial beliefs. We argue that addressing medical conspiracy theories requires not only individual or community-level interventions but also structural reforms in healthcare. Researchers should therefore explore the feasibility and impact of systematic changes in mitigating conspiratorial thinking.

期刊介绍： This review aims to compare approaches to medical ethics and bioethics in two forms, Anglo-Saxon (Ethics, Medicine and Public Health) and French (Ethique, Médecine et Politiques Publiques). Thus, in their native languages, the authors will present research on the legitimacy of the practice and appreciation of the consequences of acts towards patients as compared to the limits acceptable by the community, as illustrated by the democratic debate.
