Abstract/Notes It has been suggested that clinicians should be looking at new ways of enhancing their patients' self-care. This case study explores the health promotion interests of chiropractic patients by ascertaining the types of information brochures patients would like to find in chiropractic clinics.

Research Methods: Case studies of chiropractic patients in mainland Australia and Tasmania were compared. Purposive sampling of 10 mainland and Tasmanian chiropractic clinics was undertaken. Convenience sampling of patients attending these clinics resulted in 140 mainland and 70 Tasmanian participants. Participants completed a semi-structured interview that sought to ascertain which health-related topics, if any, they perceived as relevant for development and distribution as health information brochures in chiropractic clinics.

Results: The vast majority of patients favoured the development of a variety of health information brochures for chiropractic clinics. Although brochures on exercise-fitness and stress emerged as the most popular, there was support for general health information not immediately relevant to the musculoskeletal system.

Conclusions: This study suggests patient support for a greater diversity in health information brochures than currently available in chiropractic clinics.
