In this NCRM podcast Patrick Sturgis talks to Chris Garrington about new research funded by the Wellcome Trust, which appears to show widespread public belief that homeopathic remedies are effective. 
A working paper 'Understanding support for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in general populations: Use and perceived efficacy'  is available, and a journal article is forthcoming: Stoneman, P. Sturgis, P. and Allum, N. (in press) Understanding
