Discusses results of four investigations: systematic review of literature on use of naturopathic or complementary medicine; qualitative study on impact and conduct of naturopathic medicine at an Aboriginal community clinic; telephone survey of Aboriginal Health Centres across Ontario; and comparative assessment of approaches used in naturopathic and traditional Aboriginal medicine.
Study found that in addition to hemodialysis being life-altering, patients also experienced negative clinical interactions from healthcare providers due to misperceptions about beliefs and behaviours.
Study showed that people's reasons for going to the Emergency Department for walk-in issues were shaped by complex social, economic and personal factors.
