Popis: The high prevalence of chronic illness has prompted many to seek treatment alternatives outside of conventional medicine. Many health care providers, however, may be dangerously unaware of CAM use in their patients due, in part, to nondisclosure or because CAM use is not specifically addressed in the clinic or office. Prompted by the lack of data from Canada, this study investigated pediatric CAM use in respiratory clinics in Edmonton (Alberta) and Ottawa (Ontario).
