Answer to Question 1

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.
