[Key words]complementary and alternative medicine, CAM, gender difference, student, attitude INTRODUCTIONThe use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been increasing worldwide in recent years and CAM has been more frequently used by females than by males. In a general population, women are more likely to use CAM and to be interested in receiving CAM [1][2][3][4] . A cross-sectional study in the United States showed a strong association of female gender with CAM use across ethnic minorities 5) . In patients in northern Israel, women visiting primary care clinics used CAM more often than did men 6,7) . Several studies have shown more frequent use of CAM by women than by men for chronic and life-threatening illnesses [8][9][10] .

We used a questionnaire to obtain information on knowledge, sources of information, personal use, interest, willingness to take lectures, opinions regarding effectiveness and willingness to recommend for 17 different CAM modalities. Results:The proportions of female students with sufficient knowledge or a little knowledge of massage, chiropractic, Japanese herbal medicine, aromatherapy, diet, dietary supplements, psychotherapy, yoga and music therapy were significantly higher than the proportions of male students (p < 0.05).

Both female and male students had positive opinions regarding clinical usefulness and recommendation for massage, Japanese herbal medicine and psychotherapy (p < 0.05).
