Complementary and integrative
medicine (CIM) has become big business internationally, in particular
with regards to a range of women’s health issues. With this context in
mind, Women's Health and Complementary and Integrative Medicine constitutes
a valuable and timely resource for those looking to understand,
initiate and expand CIM research and evidence-based debate with regards
to a wide range of women’s health care issues.
The
collection brings together leading international CIM researchers from
Australia, the USA, the UK, Germany and Canada, with backgrounds and
expertise in health social science, statistics, qualitative methodology,
clinial trial design, clinical pharmacology, health services research
and public health. Contributors draw upon their own CIM research work
and experience to explain and review core research and practice issues
pertinent to the contemporary field of CIM and its future development
with regards to women’s health.
The book outlines the core
issues, challenges and opportunities facing the CIM-women’s health field
and its study and will provide insight and inspiration for those
practising, studying and/or researching the contemporary relations
between CIM and women’s health and health care.
