Persons taking more than one herbal supplement during the past 30 days were also asked whether their first herbal supplement was used to prevent a specific problem or condition (HER1PREV) and, if so, what was that condition. Similarly, persons taking vitamin supplements during the past 30 days (VITMO) were asked whether those vitamin supplements were used to prevent a specific condition (see VIT1PREV and VIT2PREV).

HER2MOST reports the specific second herbal supplement (out of 45 possible herbs) that was taken most often by the respondent. Analysts interested in the prevention of depression by other herbal or vitamin supplements should see the related variables HER1PDEPRES, VIT1PDEPRES, and VIT2PDEPRES. The corresponding variables HER1MOST, VIT1MOST, and VIT2MOST indicate which herbal or vitamin supplement was taken.

Sample adults and sample children were also asked about their use of herbal supplements to treat (rather than to prevent) health problems or conditions (HER1TREAT and HER2TREAT). Researchers interested in the use of herbal supplements to treat depression should see HER1TDEPRES and HER2TDEPRES. For more information on the full range of variables related to the use of herbal supplements, see HERMO.
