Complementary and alternative medical practice: self-care preferred vs. practitioner-based care among patients with asthma.

Background: Interest in disease self-management has increased as the US population ages, as health care costs skyrocket, and as more evidence is gathered on the etiologic basis of most chronic diseases.
