000000889 520__ $$aNearly 40% of Americans use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), yet disclosure to physicians is often lacking, compromising care. This study developed and validated a measure of CAM orientation using survey data from 795 allopathic providers. Structural equation modeling identified three sub-constructs: receptive, closed, and active. CAM orientation was higher among female physicians and those spending >15 minutes per patient, while male physicians and those with more years in practice scored lower. The 7-item measure shows promise for evaluating CAM attitudes and informing medical education. Further validation among primary care providers is recommended.
