A random sample of 176 patients seen at least once during 1997 in a University hospital outpatient clinic serving rheumatology and geriatric patients were surveyed in a telephone interview to determine the prevalence of, and reasons for taking, alternative medications. Interviews were conducted from November 1997-March 1998. The survey elicited information about patients' ability to provide self-care, demographics, work status, satisfaction with current disease management, types of alternative medications taken, sources of information about the products, where they obtained the products, and reasons for taking the products. Patients also were questioned as to their knowledge of safety of these products. Statistical comparisons were determined between patients who used alternative agents and those who did not. Prevalence of use was 66%. Most patients thought that the agents were safe and took them because they believed they have "added benefits."
