AB The  search  for  health  includes  many  beliefs  and  practices  that  are  outside  conventional  medicine.  Physicians  are  important  sources  for  information  and  guidance  about  health  matters,  but  our  patients  also  rely  on  a  wide  range  of  other  sources  including  family  and  friends,  cultural  traditions,  alternative  practitioners,  and  increasingly  the  Internet,  popular  media,  and  advertising.  An  important  step  in  patient-centered  care  is  understanding  what  patients  are  doing  to  manage  their  health.  This  understanding  is  important  to  harness  potential  benefits  and  to  help  patients  avoid  harm.
