CHRIS™ FAQs
Q: What is CHRIS™? A: The Chiropractic Health Research Information Service (CHRIS™) is a unique and exciting service program for DCs. Developed in response to the current research explosion in chiropractic and related fields—such as nutrition, stress reduction and alternative medicine—CHRIS™ is the first program to use the latest information technology to keep chiropractors up-to-date. Twice per week, CHRIS™ reviews a prodigious number of "late-breaking" studies and reports, chooses 5 stories chiropractors need to know about and summarizes them in an electronic newsletter.

A: Keeping up with relevant research requires a substantial time-commitment. Not only are a plethora of studies published every day, but you could also spend hours sifting through non-pertinent information before uncovering studies applicable to your field and your practice. Consequently, almost every other health care specialty has at least one on-line service that sifts through research for them. Although some publications summarize current studies directly related to chiropractic, our profession lacks a comprehensive publication emphasizing a broad range of topics—or one that's available electronically. CHRIS™ is the first service to offer DCs an electronic synopsis of preventive and alternative medicine studies. [ Back To Top ] Q: Why does CHRIS™ include studies on "a broad range of topics"? A: For three reasons:
[ Back To Top ] Q: Does CHRIS™ comment on the studies discussed, or just summarize them? A: Our goal is to provide information without comment or bias. And, CHRIS™ synopses are not intended to substitute for reviewing full-text articles.
