title: Natural and complementary therapy utilisation on the north coast of NSW.
abstract: The use of natural and complementary therapies in Australia seems to be increasing. There is an emerging body of literature which describes the prevalence and patterns of usage of such therapies. This paper reports the findings of a telephone survey of 645 residents of the North Coast of New South Wales which set out to describe the prevalence and patterns of use of natural and complementary therapies in the region.
