Cancer, 08/07/08
Gansler T et al. - In a study to analyze the prevalence and medical and demographic associations of complementary methods (CMs) use among cancer survivors, these findings may be used by clinicians and researchers to inform their decisions regarding which CMs to address in practice and research
Methods- This study analyzed the prevalence and medical and demographic associations of CM use among cancer survivors surveyed 10 to 24 months after diagnosis
- 4139 survivors of 1 of 10 adult cancers were selected from stratified random samples provided by statewide cancer registries and surveyed by mail and telephone
- 3 logistic regression models examined associations between medical and demographic factors and CM use among survivors of sex-specific and non-sex-specific cancers
- Of 19 CMs included in the survey, the CMs most frequently reported were prayer/spiritual practice, relaxation, faith/spiritual healing, nutritional supplements/vitamins, meditation, religious counseling, massage, and support groups
- Among these 19 CMs, the least prevalent were hypnosis, biofeedback therapy, and acupuncture/acupressure
- Survivors more likely to use CMs were female, younger, white, higher income, and more educated
