Abstract
There is now a substantial body of survey literature regarding various facets of the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). This review addresses the development of CAM surveys in United States primarily during the past decade, changing terminology in the field, and common methodologic shortcomings. The search strategy is provided for the 80 surveys and presented and summarized in 10 tables: 9 national, 4 regional, 27 cancer, 15 HIV/AIDS, 9 rheumatology, 4 neurological, 4 psychiatric, 8 other diseases.
