NEXUS Seminar: Complementary Medicine Education and Outcomes Balneaves, Lynda; Truant, Tracy

Description

The Complementary Medicine Education and Outcomes (CAMEO) program is a collaborative UBC/BC Cancer Agency research initiative that aims to develop and evaluate evidence-based decision support for people living with cancer and their significant others who are interested in using complementary medicine (CAM) during their cancer experience, as well as education on CAM for oncology health professionals. The aim of this presentation is to describe and invite discussion about some of the key research activities that are being developed through CAMEO, as well as the potential outcomes for the diverse community of people living with cancer in urban and rural regions of British Columbia. Particular attention will be paid to how diversity (i.e., gender, age, culture, geographical location) will be addressed within the CAMEO research program.
