Many complex issues are central to the ongoing debate about health care and health care delivery system reform in the United States (US) and worldwide. Academic medical centers, vulnerable populations, rural health, and hospitals represent but a few aspects of the fragmentation of the current health care delivery system. Although research offers considerable potential for generating insights into these issues, the challenge of developing and applying effective research methodology to study integrated health care delivery systems raises complex issues. In recent years, the roles, benefits, and challenges to appropriate use of research methods in the basic and applied social and clinical sciences have been debated extensively. These debates continue today. The field of complementary and alternative medicine and integrative health care (CAM/IHC) is contributing exciting new developments in this ever challenging field. Over the past two decades in United States, CAM/IHC has experienced rapid growth in acceptance and use in the general population [1], with continued expansion into settings such as community hospitals, the US Department of Defense health care system [2], and the Veterans Health Administration [3]. Growth has also occurred in the body of research in CAM internationally [4], and CAM services are now being provided by new and innovative approaches such as health information technologies. Each of these provides new and exciting possibilities for CAM/IHC but equally each also provides new challenges. The collection of articles in this volume explores in various ways several of these challenges from the perspective of CAM/IHC research.
