Le sondage Angus Reid porte sur le recours à l'acupuncture, à l'homéopathie, à l'herbologie, à la macrobiotique, à la chiropratique et à d'autres thérapies (Ipsos-Reid 1997a). On ne peut donc pas faire de comparaison directe entre les deux sondages ni avec l'ENSP et le sondage Berger de la santé publique.

These two surveys inquired about the use of practitioners, practices, and products (unlike the NPHS, which only asks about consultation with alternative practitioners, and the Berger Population Health Monitor, which to date has focused on the use of NHPs). The Fraser Institute survey used categories derived, with some modification, from David Eisenberg at the Center for Alternative Medicine and Education in two surveys in the United States (Eisenberg et al. 1993; Eisenberg et al. 1998): chiropractic, relaxation techniques, massage, prayer, herbal therapies, special diet programs, folk remedies, acupuncture, yoga, self-help group, lifestyle diet, homeopathy, imagery techniques, energy healing, naturopathy, aromatherapy, spiritual or religious healing by others, hypnosis, high-dose megavitamins, biofeedback, osteopathy, and chelation (Ramsay et al. 1999). The Angus Reid Survey asked about the use of acupuncture, homeopathy, herbology, macrobiotics, chiropractic, and others (Ipsos-Reid 1997a). As a result, the two surveys do not allow for direct comparison with each other or with the NPHS and the Berger Population Health Monitor.
