ABSTRACT:

The NCCAM health professional portal page is a fundamental tool for providing complementary and alternative medical information to health care providers. A survey distributed to attendees of physician-focused meetings where NCCAM will be exhibiting would provide the necessary feedback to create the types of tools and content for the health professional portal page that is needed by this audience. The responses would allow NCCAM to gauge what topics and tools the health care providers are most interested in, construct optimal formats, and determine preferred delivery methods.

We will recruit up to 100 respondents at the American Pain Society 29^th Annual Scientific Meeting, 2010 American Geriatric Society Annual Scientific Meeting, and the 2010 National Medical Association Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly The survey will be administered as a self-administered questionnaire at the NCCAM exhibit booth. No technology will be used to complete the survey. Completion will be voluntary with no payment and individual responses will be kept confidential. Findings will be used by NCCAM for program planning purposes and published or otherwise shared externally.
