What are Some Challenges in Integrative Pediatric Care?
Challenges include:
- Lack of Research: There is limited high-quality research on the efficacy and safety of many CAM practices in children. - Regulation and Standardization: Many herbal supplements and alternative treatments are not well-regulated, posing potential risks. - Insurance Coverage: Many integrative therapies are not covered by insurance, making them less accessible for some families. - Professional Training: There is a need for more healthcare professionals trained in both conventional and integrative medicine.
