Context
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is widely used in the United States. According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), 38.8 percent of U.S. adults and 12 percent of U.S. children use CAM therapies. The survey also reported on CAM use among members of ethnic groups, as a percentage of the group’s overall population:
· American Indian and Alaska Natives, 50.3 percent.
· Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders, 4.32 percent.
· Non-Hispanic whites, 43.1 percent.
· Asians, 39.9 percent.
· Blacks or African Americans, 25.5 percent.
· Hispanics, 23.7 percent (Pérez & Luquis, 2014, p. 113).

Spirituality is part of the human experience, and its implications should be addressed in the health care system with a focus on communities with health disparities. In working with communities, the implications of culture and diversity are, in some cases, a central focus. The integration of the community-based participatory model is one way of creating connections for health and wellness promotion and programming for racial and ethnic communities (Pérez & Luquis, 2014).
