For chronic pain conditions, acupuncture is a valuable alternative to over-the-counter (OTC) and pharmaceutical pain medications because of the reduced potential for drug complications (NIH, 1997). It may also serve as an environmentally-friendly alternative because OTC and pharmaceutical products have been reported in U.S. surface waters. Despite wide-spread promotion of acupuncture, it is scarcely utilized in the United States.

520 $a For chronic pain conditions, acupuncture is a valuable alternative to over-the-counter (OTC) and pharmaceutical pain medications because of the reduced potential for drug complications (NIH, 1997). It may also serve as an environmentally-friendly alternative because OTC and pharmaceutical products have been reported in U.S. surface waters. Despite wide-spread promotion of acupuncture, it is scarcely utilized in the United States.
520 $a The goal of this research was to determine whether or not health education programs could serve as an effective means of increasing an individual's interest in and future willingness to use acupuncture. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three separate acupuncture use educational classes or a control class. The experimental educational treatments (cognitive, cultural and critical) all endeavored to increase future willingness to use acupuncture, however, the proposed mechanism by which willingness would increase was different for each. For the cognitive treatment, it was hypothesized that increased willingness to use acupuncture would be associated with increased awareness of health risks associated with OCT and prescription drugs as well as increased beliefs about the benefits of acupuncture. The goal of the cultural treatment was to increase willingness to use acupuncture by changing cultural perspectives about the environmental benefit of acupuncture and by increasing the learner's appreciation for acupuncture's energy-balancing characteristics. The critical treatment focused on access issues and institutional barriers to acupuncture use by educating individuals about how to find an appropriately-qualified acupuncturist. The amount of influence that specific enabling factors had on changing attitudes was assessed using linear regression techniques.
520 $a A traditional health risk/benefit approach (cognitive) appeared to be the most effective means of improving subject's beliefs about future acupuncture's use relative to other forms of alternative health, though this information was more important to higher educated individuals (F (4,73) = 6.317, p < .001). Subjects also reported that information about finding a qualified acupuncturist had a greater impact on their potential use of acupuncture (F (4,104) = 3.756, p = .007). Despite having a health need acupuncture was utilized to a lesser extent than any other type of alternative treatment surveyed (75% of respondents used some type of alternative, while only 8.9% used acupuncture).
