註釋Dietary supplement use by adult patients in the United States has increased over the past 30 years (Schaffer et al., 2016). In 2014, approximately 50% of all adults were using dietary supplements (Schaffer et al., 2016). Supplement use goes under-reported by patients to their primary care providers. When patients consider supplement use, they often obtain their information from sources that may not be evidence-based such as family, friends, television, and the Internet. Many supplements can improve health and evidence-based practice (EBP) supports their use. However, dietary supplement use does not come without potential dangers. Supplements may interact with prescription medications or other supplements causing detrimental health events. There may not be any evidence to support the use of certain supplements and patients may be wasting their money when they purchase them. The purpose of this project was to determine what types of supplements patients use in a primary care office, provide general and supplement specific education to patients, and to implement a reference library with information about commonly used supplements for providers and patients. The outcomes of the project were used to determine the impact of patient education on patient dietary supplement use and the sustainability of the reference library.
