According to a Survey Most Americans Feel We Should Support Veteran Research

The National Association of Veterans’ Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) partnered with Isos to conduct a survey exploring how the American public perceives the impact of VA research. 

Veterans Overwhelmingly Back VA Research as Essential to Their Care and Medical Progress, New Ipsos Survey Finds

The findings revealed broad support for veterans' access to medical treatments and research initiatives:

• 96% of veterans and 87% of all Americans believe veterans should have access to medical treatments.

• 91% of veterans and 85% of Americans think it is important to conduct medical research.

• 92% of veterans and 86% of Americans believe veterans should have access to innovative treatments.

• 83% of veterans and 70% of Americans feel that funding VA research is important.

However, the survey also showed that many Americans are unaware of the VA's contributions to medical research. This highlights the need to raise public awareness and understanding of the VA’s role. It is also benefical to say raise awareness of veterans and their contributions to society in general.
