Description

For sample adults in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for homeopathic treatment during the past 12 months (HOMPRACYR), HOMPRACNO reports how many times the respondent had seen such a practitioner during the past year.

Response categories for HOMPRACNO report the number of visits to a practitioner in grouped intervals, ranging from "Only one time" to "More than 20 times". Those who had seen a practitioner for homeopathic treatment were also asked what the average out-of-pocket expense for each visit to such a practitioner had been (HOMPRACPAY).
