Each interviewee was given a questionnaire listing commonly recommended unproved drugs, diets and miscellaneous treatments and was instructed to respond to each remedy as follows: if it was tried; if trying was considered or if it was recommended by someone else. Six patients (8.7%) tried at least 1 unproved remedy, 4 (5.8%) considered trying some other remedy and recommendations to seek other remedies were made to 17 patients (24.6%).
