Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation (Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, etc.) that provides guidance for assessing the credibility and reliability of an online source about CAM information. Ensure you:

· Describe how a consumer's attitudes and beliefs about CAM could affect the assessment of the reliability and credibility of source information about CAM.

· Create five objective criteria to evaluate the credibility and reliability of a source of information on CAM. Discuss how you arrived at each criterion and how it can help assess the reliability of source information.

· Select  a CAM therapy or modality different from the one you selected in Week 1, and do research for information about this therapy or modality.

· Using  the five objective criteria you created above, provide a review of one of the websites you found in your search and evaluate the reliability and credibility of the information it presents on CAM. Ensure you:

· Explain how the website met or did not meet each of the criteria you created.

· Describe steps the website could take to increase its credibility, if necessary.
