Objective.描述补充和替代医学（CAM）在挪威、丹麦和斯德哥尔摩县的使用率。设计，设置和主题。在挪威，1997年对1000名参与者进行了全国代表性抽样，完成了关于其CAM使用情况的电话访谈（答复率51）。在丹麦，2000年对16 690名参与者进行了全国代表性抽样，完成了关于其健康和发病率的问卷调查和访谈（答复率74）。在斯德哥尔摩县，随机选择的1001名参与者完成了电话采访，他们的CAM使用在2000年（响应率63）。结果挪威、丹麦和斯德哥尔摩曾使用CAM的患病率分别为34%、45%和49%。在所有三项研究中，CAM的使用与自我报告的健康状况不佳有关，并且与丹麦和挪威的医生就诊有关。据报告，使用辅助生殖技术的妇女多于男子，受过高等教育的妇女也多于男子。最常用的CAM疗法是挪威的顺势疗法、丹麦的反射疗法和斯德哥尔摩县的按摩。结论. CAM的使用在斯堪的纳维亚国家很常见，在治疗偏好方面存在国家差异。许多人同时使用补充和辅助医疗服务和常规医疗服务。
Objective. To describe the prevalence of use of complementary and alternative medicine ( CAM) in Norway, Denmark and Stockholm County. Design, setting, and subjects. In Norway, a national representative sample of 1000 participants completed telephone interviews regarding their CAM use in 1997 ( response rate 51). In Denmark, a national representative sample of 16 690 participants completed questionnaires and interviews regarding their health and morbidity in 2000 ( response rate 74). In Stockholm County, a randomly selected sample of 1001 participants completed telephone interviews about their CAM use in 2000 ( response rate 63). Results. Prevalence of ever-use of CAM was 34% in Norway, 45% in Denmark, and 49% in Stockholm. Use of CAM is associated with poor self-reported health in all three studies, and with visits to a medical doctor in Denmark and Norway. More women than men, and more with higher education, reported use of CAM. Most frequently used CAM therapy was homeopathy in Norway, reflexology in Denmark, and massage in Stockholm County. Conclusions. Use of CAM is common in the Scandinavian countries, and there are national differences regarding therapy preferences. Many individuals use both CAM and conventional health services.
