The increased use of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) has stimulated practitioners, policy makers, and researchers to examine its integration into mainstream medicine. For adolescents, there is evidence that they are using CAM as an option for health care. However, there is limited information on how adolescent integrative care should be developed in Canada. Practice, practice environments, and education are the three areas identified in which modifications should be made to current adolescent-focused practice in Canada to make it more of an integrative system.

Key Words: adolescent health • complementary/alternative medicine • integrative health care
