This survey, which had a 73 0/0 response rate, found that 64 0/0 of the naturopaths licensed in Washington were professionally located in the State. A majority were actively practicing drugless therapeutics involving direct patient care. As a group, naturopaths were usually male and older than in other health occupations. Although a large percentage fialed to reply to questions regarding education, nearly half reported completion of high school. Three fourths of the naturopaths were licensed through complete examination, another 10 0/0 had obtained reciprocity of the basic science portion of their licensure examination. (Author)
