EMERGING THEMES In addition to our established research programs we are developing research areas including complementary therapies, sexual health, cancer and musculoskeletal problems. Our focus on complementary therapies is driven by the fact that over 40% of Australians use some form of complementary therapy every day, although for most of these therapies there is little or no evidence of their effectiveness. Research in this area is seeking to develop an evidence-base for the safe and effective use of complementary therapies in health problems commonly managed in general practice. Methods being used include randomised controlled trials, epidemiological population and practitioner surveys and qualitative interviews.
