- HEALTH : Complementary and Alternative Medicine. FP7-HEALTH-2009-single- stage. In order to create the knowledge base concerning the demands for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and the prevalence of its use in Europe, consensus on the terminology of CAM and the definition of respective CAM methods needs to be established. The current state with respect to the provider’s perspective as well as needs and demands of the citizens should be explored; the different legal status of CAM in EU Member States needs to be taken into account. A roadmap for future European research in this area should be developed. Funding scheme: Coordination and Support Action (Coordinating Action).

CER is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of alternative methods to prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor a clinical condition, or to improve the delivery of care. The purpose of CER is to assist consumers, clinicians, purchasers, and policy makers to make informed decisions that will improve health care at both the individual and population levels.
