Describe how a consumer’s attitudes and beliefs about CAM could hinder objective assessments of reliability and credibility in CAM.
Create five (5) objective criteria to judge the reliability of information from a CAM website source. (Review links provided in student materials.)
Select a Complementary Health care therapy or modality, and research the Internet for websites on this therapy.
Be sure you use a therapy and not a Healing System–see chart from week one. Chosing a Healing System will be an automatic -5 point deduction. The therapy is not the focus of this assignment; it is to provde students with a reference point for the internet search. Then on 2-3 slides, perform the following:Describe the therapy.Examine the type of training or education that is required.Discuss whether a license or certification is required to practice this therapy.Identify the overseeing or regulating organization for this therapy.Using your criteria, review one of the websites on your therapy and determine how reliable the site is for CAM information. Do not use a website from class. Part of this assignment is searching for the website.
As the focus of this assignment is on the reliability of information on a website; the criteria and evaluation of the website will be the largest part of this assignment.(15 pt)
Explain how you reached your conclusion about the website. Consider using a grading scale or grid for this exercise.Describe steps the website could take to increase its credibility.
