Background: There has been a marked increase in the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the UK population in recent years. Surveys of doctors' perspectives on CAM have identified a variety of views and potential information needs. While these are useful for describing the proportions of doctors who hold particular attitudes towards CAM, they are less helpful for understanding why. In addition, while the views of nonacademic doctors have begun to be studied, the perspective and rationales of academic doctors remains underresearched. It seems important to investigate the views of those with a research-orientation, given the emphasis on the need for more scientific evidence in recent debates on CAM.

Detailed knowledge of Ménière's disease was uncommon, and formal guidelines were not frequently consulted.
