CAM Attitudes, Self-reported Use and Client Recommendations of Czech Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians: Implications for Training : Running head: What Czech Pharmacists and Technicians believe and recommend about CAM therapies

Abstract

Czech pharmacists and pharmacy technicians have positive attitudes about CAM. Pharmacist and pharmacy technicians' recommendation of CAM therapies to clients is based on a culture of belief and self-use rather than knowledge of current evidence.

Strategies for improving recommendation practices will need to address self-use and the inclusion of CAM evidence-based medicine training.
