چکیده
Purpose Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is increasing in New Zealand (NZ). As public interest in the use of CAM grows, political recognition has become increasingly topical.

It examines key aspects of practice, demographics, attitudes and beliefs held about integrative medicine, CAM regulation and research attempting to quantify CAM contribution towards public health in NZ.
