近年来,在美国,补充和替代医学(CAM)的使用一直在大幅增长。CAM使用的这种增长与美国外国出生人口比例的持续增长相吻合。本研究的主要目的是探讨文化适应与移民使用辅助文化疗法之间的关系。研究人员分析了2002年全国健康访谈调查的辅助文化疗法补充数据,以估计在调查前的12个月里,文化适应对使用不同辅助文化疗法的可能性的影响。结果表明,文化适应水平——通过出生/在美国停留的时间和面试语言来衡量——与CAM的使用密切相关。随着移民在美国停留的时间越来越长,或者随着他们对英语的使用越来越熟练,他们使用辅助疗法的可能性也在增加,并逐渐接近本土出生的美国人使用辅助疗法的水平。此外,即使考虑到社会经济地位、健康保险覆盖范围、自我报告的健康状况和其他人口变量的影响,文化适应与辅助医学使用之间的这种关系通常仍然存在。新移民使用替代药物的比率明显较低及其可能的原因值得进一步研究。
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been growing substantially in the US in recent years. Such a growth in CAM use coincides with an ongoing increase in the proportion of the foreign-born population in the US. The main objective of this study is to examine the relation between acculturation and the use of CAM therapies among immigrants. Data from a CAM supplement to the 2002 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed to estimate the effects of acculturation on the likelihood of using different CAM therapies over the past 12 months prior to the survey. The results suggest that the level of acculturation—as measured by nativity/length of stay in the US and language of interview—is strongly associated with CAM use. As immigrants stay longer in the US or as their use of English becomes more proficient, the likelihood that they use CAM therapies increases as well, and it gradually approaches the level of CAM use by native-born Americans. Moreover, this relation between acculturation and CAM use generally persists even after the effects of socioeconomic status, health insurance coverage, self-reported health status, and other demographic variables have all been taken into consideration. The substantially lower rates of CAM use by recent immigrants and its possible causes warrant further research.
