NIH will not generalize the results of this study to the entire
U.S. population. NIH will report the response rate achieved to OMB
and will conduct analyzes to identify possible bias if the response
rate falls below 75%. Analysis should also include a discussion of
coverage from the original survey to this follow-on, including
characteristics of those who did not agree to be contacted again.
For Module G of the survey instrument, approval is limited to
questions 1-6.

The CHIS-CAM study is a follow-back to
the previously conducted California Health Interview Survey (CHIS),
OMB No. 0925-0478, that will enable NCI to obtain extensive
information on use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

be linked to health data that have previously been colleted from
the large, racially and ethnically diverse sample of CHIS
respondents.
