Use of electronic personal health records (PHRs) for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) disclosure: Implications for integrative health care

摘要

Objectives: To test a hypothesis that patients' use of Internet-based personal health records (PHRs) will be positively related to their disclosure of their CAM use to medical doctors, controlling for covariates' effects (e.g., health, human capital, and demographics), and to examine the factors influencing patients' CAM use disclosures.
