NIH研究报告了超过一半的美国办事处的医生推荐CHA

A new study has shown that more than half (53.1%) of office-based physicians in the U.S., across specialty areas, recommended at least one complementary health approach (CHA) to their patients during the previous 12 months, with female physicians (63.2%) more likely to recommend a CHA than male physicians (49.3%). This unique study, which found physician's sex, race, specialty, and U.S. region to be significant predictors of CHA recommendation, is published inJACM，替代和补充医学杂志。

The article entitled "U.S. Physician Recommendations to Their Patients About the Use of Complementary Health Approaches" was coauthored by Barbara Stussman and Richard Nahin, Ph.D., MPH, National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, and Patricia Barnes and Brian Ward, Ph.D., National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, MD. The data are based on the 2012 Physician Induction Interview of the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS PII).

研究人员通过医生对其患者的任何建议分析了任何CHA和个人方法，包括按摩疗法，草药/非vitamin补充剂，脊椎按摩术/骨质疗法操作，瑜伽，针灸和思维疗法。总体而言，按摩疗法是最常用的CHA，其次是脊椎按摩术/骨疗法操作，草药/非禽素补充剂，瑜伽和针灸。分析也看了医生专业领域，包括一般/家庭练习医生，精神科医生，ob / gyns和儿科医生，以及推荐任何或特定的cha的可能性。作者预计他们的调查结果将“使消费者，医生和医学院能够更好地了解与患者使用的潜在差异。”
