Rebuilding trust requires a multifaceted approach:
Transparency: Health agencies must be transparent about their data, methodologies, and decision-making processes. Community Engagement: Engaging with communities, particularly those historically marginalized, can help rebuild trust. This includes listening to their concerns and involving them in decision-making processes. Clear Communication: Clear, consistent, and evidence-based communication can help counter misinformation and build trust. Accountability: Holding institutions and individuals accountable for their actions can restore public confidence.
