The year prevalence of acupuncture’s utilization in uneducated or primary school level are25times (OR:.042, CI:.005-.371) less than those in secondary school level. The year prevalence of acupuncture’s utilization for those salary between﹩20001-﹩30000are0.4times (OR:1.157-3.768) more than those salary between﹩10001-﹩20000. Those salary between﹩40001-50000are2.9times (OR:3.916,CI:1.181-12.987) more.There is a great progress in the development of acupuncture in Hong Kong.

No education or primary educatio are less. It may be related to their needs, thoughts, education and economic status. When government formulatethe health care policy, they can take those data for references. See how to get more people who haven’t done acupuncture to try in order to help them getting better health.In clinical, the government was proposed additional funding to reduce the public’s burden and increase the practitioners’ clinical training.
