Complementary And Alternative

We investigated HMO members' use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers outside the HMO in 1995-1996. A random 2% survey of Kaiser Permanente Northwest members addressed HMO service satisfaction, self-reported health status and behaviors, and HMO utilization. Among respondents, 15.7% (n = 380) used CAM providers (chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, others) in the prior 12 months, while 35% were ever users. Multivariate analysis found that those more likely to consult CAM providers were females, more educated, and more dissatisfied with the HMO. These results suggest that HMOs may wish to focus efforts to improve patient satisfaction among CAM service users.
