White bars represent reasons for nondisclosure of any therapy included in the survey ( = 726); the lightly shaded bars depict reasons for nondisclosure of therapies with a recognized potential risk for adverse events—namely, herbal remedies, chiropractic, naturopathy, megavitamins, and chelation therapy ( = 188). Our analysis also considered whether reasons for nondisclosure were associated with the severity of the medical condition; the darkly shaded bars summarize reasons for nondisclosure among respondents who reported having a relatively “severe” medical condition—cancer, coronary artery disease, or diabetes mellitus—in the past 12 months ( = 33).
