Description
For sample adults and sample children in 2007 who had taken one or more herbal supplements during the past 30 days (HERMOSUPNO), HER1MOST reports the first of two herbal supplements that the respondent had taken most often.
Sample adults and respondents for sample children were shown the same list of 45 herbs and asked, "Which two of these herbal supplements did [you/(sample child's name)] take the most in the past 30 days?" Interviewers were given the instruction, "If respondent cannot choose two herbs used most often, probe for the two most important for health." See HERMOAND for the full list of herbal supplements shown to sample adults and respondents for sample children.
