Answer to Question 1

2,4
Rationale 1: An elderly couple on a fixed income without a computer would have very little awareness of complementary and alternative therapies.
Rationale 2: Increased awareness of the limitations and drawbacks of traditional medicine and increased international travel have contributed to the rise in the use of complementary and alternative therapies.
Rationale 3: Participation in sports would have no bearing on the use of alternative and complementary medicine.
Rationale 4: Use of complementary or alternative therapies is enhanced by the use of the Internet, as information is quickly available worldwide.
Rationale 5: Marital status has no bearing on the use of alternative and complementary medicine, but someone who rarely travels might not be exposed to complementary and alternative therapies as much as would be someone who travels internationally.
