Utilization of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by United States Adults: Results From the 1999 National Health Interview Survey
OBJECTIVE: To measure utilization of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by US adults. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 1999 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which covers the noninstitutionalized civilian US population. Information on 12 types of CAM use in the past 12 months was obtained from 30,801 respondents aged 18 years and older. Statistical analyses were performed using the SUDAAN software package to account for the com…

Child care arrangements and repeated ear infections in young children
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to assess the association between child care arrangements and repeated ear infections in young children. METHODS. Data on 5818 children younger than 6 years of age were taken from the 1988 National Health Interview Survey of Child Health. RESULTS. Seventeen percent of the children had had repeated ear infections in the year preceding the interview. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that factors…
HIV antibody testing and posttest counseling in the United States: Data from the 1989 National Health Interview Survey
To see how successful human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counseling and testing efforts have been in testing the United States population, particularly among those at increased risk for HIV infection, we analyzed data from the 1989 National Health Interview Survey. Twenty percent of the NHIS sample (or, in terms of the general US population, an estimated 36 million persons) reported having been tested for HIV antibodies, mostly through blood dona…
Knowledge about Aids and HIV in the US adult population: Influence of the local incidence of Aids
BACKGROUND. Accurate information about acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is important for prevention. This study determined whether AIDS knowledge varied among populations residing in areas with a low, medium, or high incidence of AIDS. METHODS. Respondents to the 1988 National Health Interview Survey of AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes, which is based on a nationally representative sample of 29,659 adul…
HIV antibody testing among adults in the United States: Data from 1988 NHIS
Data collected from 21,168 adults using the 1988 AIDS supplement to the National Health Interview Survey were examined to determine awareness of and experience with HIV antibody testing in the United States. Three-fourths of adults knew of the blood test for HIV antibodies; awareness was lower among Blacks, Hispanics, older adults, and those less educated. Overall, 17 percent of adults had been tested; of these, 73 percent because of blood donati…
Increased suppressor T cells in probable transmitters of human immunodeficiency virus infection
To evaluate behavioral and immunologic factors related to transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by homosexual intercourse, we studied a population of 329 homosexual/bisexual men (155 partner-pairs) seen in a community health center and medical outpatient clinic. Logistic regression analysis showed that behavioral risk factors for infection in the 130 HIV-infected men included: receptive anal intercourse (OR 4.6, 95% CI-1.8, 12.1); re…
Epidemiology of HIV Infection and Aids in the United States
By the end of 1987, nearly 50,000 cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) had been reported since 1981, 20,745 in the past year alone. Black and Hispanic adults and children have reported rates 3 to 12 times as high as whites. This can be largely attributed to higher reported rates in black and Hispanic intravenous (IV) drug abusers, their sex partners, and infants. In 1986, reported AIDS deaths increased adult male and female mortalit…
