Chiropractors have expressed both pro- and anti-vaccination opinions.
We explored the interest of Alberta chiropractors in participating in immunization awareness and promoting activities.
Data were collected in a cross-sectional postal survey (response rate: 78.2%, 503 respondents) in 2002. Participants indicated their interests in a close-ended checklist of seven immunization awareness/promoting activities on 5-point scales. Analyses included frequencies and cross tabulations with demographic characteristics of respondents.
More than 60% expressed at least some interest in participating in one or more activities. The three most popular activities were: call Public Health/doctor/nurses for information to answer questions on immunization (40%); refer parents to Public Health/doctors for information on immunization (39%); and display/give out pamphlets provided by Public Health on vaccines/immunization in office (29%).
Public health practitioners might consider providing chiropractors with contact information for questions on immunization as well as pamphlets on vaccines and immunization for office display.
脊椎按摩师表达了支持和反对疫苗接种的观点。
我们探讨了艾伯塔省脊椎按摩师参与免疫意识和促进活动的意愿。
2002年通过横断面邮政调查收集数据（回复率：78.2%，503名受访者）。参与者在一份包含七项免疫意识/促进活动的封闭式清单中，以5分制表明他们的意愿。分析包括频率以及与受访者人口统计学特征的交叉制表。
超过60%的人表示至少对参与一项或多项活动有一定兴趣。最受欢迎的三项活动是：致电公共卫生部门/医生/护士获取信息以回答有关免疫接种的问题（40%）；将家长转介至公共卫生部门/医生处获取免疫接种信息（39%）；以及在诊所展示/发放公共卫生部门提供的有关疫苗/免疫接种的宣传册（29%）。
公共卫生从业者可能会考虑向脊椎按摩师提供有关免疫接种问题的联系信息，以及供诊所展示的有关疫苗和免疫接种的宣传册。
