Create a methodology for assessing credibility and reliability of sources of CAM information.

Devise 3 to 5 objective criteria to judge the credibility and reliability of a source of information on CAM, such as a book, newspaper article, or speaker. Research websites on a CAM therapeutic modality.

Review one of the websites and determine how reliable the site is for CAM information, using your 3 to 5 criteria.

Describe how a consumer's attitudes and beliefs about CAM could hinder objective assessments of reliability and credibility in CAM.

Demonstrate, in detail, how you reached your conclusion about the website. Consider using a grading scale or grid for this exercise.

Discuss what steps the website could take to increase its credibility.
