Determinants of the Use of Four Categories of Complementary and Alternative MedicineEmail this article to a colleague.

The purpose of this research is to assess the social and health determinants of the use of four separate and distinct categories of complementary and alternative medical therapies: biologically based, mind-body, manipulative, and whole CAM medical systems. The behavioral model of health services use, which holds that health service use is a function of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics, is used as the theoretical framework for linking specific determinants with the four categories of CAM use. Data are taken from a statewide interview survey of Kansas adults (N = 2,166) conducted in 2001. Results from multiva...

Determinants of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and characteristics of users are examined using a sample of 848 adults aged 50 and older from the 2000 Health and Retirement Survey. Logistic regression is used to identify the factors associated with the likelihood of using CAM. Nearly 70% of the respondents use at least one CAM modality, with 44% reporting use of curative CAM and 58% reporting use of preventive/curative CAM. Whites, relative to Blacks, were more likely to use curative and less likely to use preventive/curative CAM. Widowed older adults were more likely to use preventive/curative CAM. Number...

We also believe this practice description will be of general interest.

The ability of the mind and spirit to influence the body’s processes is a major theme in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) literature. Some CAM authors have taken this idea to the extreme, claiming that the mind has complete control over the body. In this article, the origins and functions of the concept of the mind’s preeminence over the body are examined from historical, psychological, and sociological perspectives. Historically, this concept became especially emphasized during times of widespread social upheaval, possibly because dissociation from the body is an effective psychological coping mech...
