Several studies have identified predictors for complementary health approach use, yet there are two gaps: (1) How does use change? (2) Do factors associated with use influence this change over time? Using the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS), we examined how sociodemographic factors affected use longitudinally, and whether these associations differed between new and continued/discontinued use of herbal products, meditation, chiropractic, and massage therapy. <b><i>Design:</i></b> MIDUS is a national probability sample of adults aged 25 or older that has collected more than 20 years of longitudinal data, including the use of complementary health approaches. We employed the Andersen Model as a framework to identify predisposing, enabling, and health need factors associated with complementary health approach use based on previously identified and hypothesized factors. We ran Chi-square analyses to first test bivariate associations between our independent variables and four modalities to further guide logistic regression models. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Each of the four approaches examined saw substantial increases in prevalent use. However, only about 25% to 38% of individuals continued use from one wave to the next, whereas only 2%-9% of individuals who did not use a given approach in a wave reported use in the subsequent wave. Age, spiritual importance, and previous wave one use were all significantly associated with new use across all four modalities. Previous wave one use was associated with continued/discontinued use for all modalities. Age and education were significantly associated with discontinued use of chiropractic. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> We present the first longitudinal analysis of complementary health approaches in a nationally representative sample.

With the prolonged life expectancy, dementia is gradually becoming prevalent and affects most patients' life qualities. However, the efficacy of current treatments in dementia of PD is limited. Previous studies indicated the potential roles of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in treating dementia, yet the correlation between CHM usage and risk of dementia in PD patients is unclear. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This case-control study was nested within a National Health Insurance database of patients over 50 years with newly diagnosed PD from year 2000 to 2010. Among these PD patients, dementia and nondementia groups were discussed, respectively, in terms of the duration of taking CHM (≥90 vs. <90 days), age (50-64 vs. ≥65 years) and gender. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The risk of dementia in patients with PD is lower in CHM users compared with non-CHM users, especially in those taking CHM for more than 90 days (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.58; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.39-0.87). The use of CHM was significantly related to the lower risk of dementia in the subgroups of patients with age ≥65 years for CHM usage <90 days (aOR 0.68; 95% CI 0.53-0.88), patients with age ≥65 years for CHM usage ≥90 days (aOR 0.63; 95% CI 0.42-0.94), female patients using CHM for ≥90 days (aOR 0.43; 95% CI 0.22-0.84), and male patients using CHM for <90 days (aOR 0.62; 95% CI 0.43-0.88). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The authors demonstrated the association of CHM usage with lower risk of dementia in patients with PD, especially in women with the usage of CHM for more than 90 days.

CM is commonly described on the basis of its distinction from biomedicine with limited research available on CM practitioners' understanding of what the essence of their practice is and how healing transpires as a result. This is despite the significant patronage of CM and high rates of couse with biomedical services. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> An extensive and systematic search of the literature was conducted across seven databases (AMED, SINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, PUBMED, Science Direct, and Scopus) with no date, language, or region restrictions applied. The basis for the search was MeSH terms and keywords relating to (1) CM practitioners, (2) perceptions, and (3) healing. A screening process was conducted and articles were identified for inclusion based on their addressing the research question. These articles were then quality appraised. A seven-stage metaethnographic framework was utilized to assist with identifying and interpreting the themes within the data. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Following the screening process, merely 10 qualitative studies were identified, which represented practitioner views across 22 CM professions. CM practitioners believe they provide a distinct model of care informed by a traditional shared holistic and vitalistic philosophy. Nonspecific factors, such as an augmented therapeutic relationship, empathy, and patient empowerment, are actively and deliberately incorporated into the treatment process alongside specific interventions and afforded equal valued. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This metaethnographic synthesis brings together the perceptions of CM practitioners on how healing transpires within the CM clinical setting.
