Methodology
Our survey was run through YouGov from May 7, 2026, through July 21, 2026. Our sample population was adults who reported having a prescription medication during the previous month and had health insurance with prescription drug coverage. National survey responses were weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population. Survey responses were weighted to the U.S. population using age, gender, race, political affiliation, and education level. State-level survey responses were unweighted. The YouGov survey research arm provides additional details on methodology and weighting.
