Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among adults in the United States is prevalent and increasing,1,2 although estimates vary as to the exact level of its use.3,4 The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an established system that provides timely, state-specific estimates of risk factors and healthful behaviors related to the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. We investigated the feasibility of using this ongoing surveillance system to estimate the prevalence of CAM use among Michigan adults
