1 Public Perceptions of Doctors of Chiropractic: Results of a National Survey and Examination of Variation According to Respondents' Likelihood to Use Chiropractic, Experience With Chiropractic, and Chiropractic Supply in Local Health Care Markets  William B Weeks, MD, PhD, MBA, Christine M Goertz, DC, PhD, William C Meeker, DC, MPH, Dennis M Marchiori, DC, PhD  Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics  Volume 38, Issue 8, Pages (October 2015) DOI: /j.jmpt Copyright © 2015 National University of Health Sciences Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Comparison of groups with different likelihoods of using a DC for treatment of neck or back pain on whether they believe DCs are effective at treating neck and back pain, their perception of the trustworthiness of most DCs, and their understanding of what DCs do. All results are statistically significant at P < The dotted horizontal line indicates the overall proportion of respondents who agreed or strongly agreed to the question. DC, doctor of chiropractic.

3 Fig 2 Comparison of groups with different likelihoods of using a DC for treatment of neck or back pain on whether they believe chiropractic care is dangerous, requires too many visits, or is expensive. All results are statistically significant at P < The dotted horizontal line indicates the overall proportion of respondents who agreed or strongly agreed to the question.

4 Fig 3 Comparison of groups with different experiences using a DC on how they want to interact with DCs. P values are provided within the figure. The dotted horizontal line indicates the overall proportion of respondents who agreed or strongly agreed to the question. DC, doctor of chiropractic.

5 Fig 4 Comparison of respondents' perceptions of DCs according to whether they lived in health care markets with lower or higher per-capita supplies of DCs. Unweighted results showing respondents' perceptions as to whether chiropractic care is dangerous, whether most DCs are trustworthy, and whether DCs are effective at treating neck and back pain are shown; P values are provided within the figure. The dotted horizontal line indicates the overall proportion of respondents who agreed or strongly agreed to the question. Results are based on unweighted data.
