Comparisons of area of residence against information sources for CAM, information sharing about CAM use, attitudes towards CAM, and satisfaction with health care are provided in Table 2.
Criterion-related validity of the CHBQ total scale scores was examined by its correlation with the IMAQ scale scores, CAM modality usage and CAM information source usage.
This acceptance coincides with political initiatives to fund a CAM research center in Norway, funding of CAM research in Denmark and CAM information centres in both countries.
This resonates with a recent survey of pharmacists in Australia in which 27% of pharmacists selling CAM believed they did not have access to CAM information resources such as textbooks or journals at their place of work [ 13].
We hypothesized that this selected group of faculty would have more positive attitudes, would themselves use CAM modalities at a high rate, and would use more CAM information resources than either interns or medical students.
Designers of applications leveraging CAM information are interested in the frequency of received CAMs originating from vehicles depending on their distance.
These performance metrics are required for the sizing and design of a CAM-processing architecture in series vehicles and for developers of applications using CAM information.
Men in this study were discerning in their evaluation of CAM information, offered rationales for their choices and often adopted a 'consumerist' approach to CAM treatment options.
Therefore, a responsible healthcare approach is that patients should receive evidence based CAM information about efficacy, effectiveness, adverse effects and possible interactions, to inform their decision making related to CAM use.
Simple numerical analysis was used to report the types of CAM interventions used as well as the numbers and types of practitioners consulted and source used to access CAM information.
Section D explored sources of CAM information, perceived barriers to CAM implementation in Sierra Leone as well as the perceived need among pharmacy students for CAM education.
