Description

For sample adults who had never used yoga (YTQYOGAEV), YTQNEVOTH identifies those who responded, "Some other reason" when asked, "Please tell me the reasons why you have never used yoga." Respondents could supply more than one reason for never having used yoga.

Other reasons for never using yoga are recorded in the following variables:

• YTQNEVCOST (Too expensive)

• YTQNEVHC (HC worker said not to)

• YTQNEVKNOW (Didn't know about it)

• YTQNEVNEED (Not needed)

• YTQNEVPROOF (Not proven to work)

• YTQNEVSAFE (Not safe)

• YTQNEVTHINK (Never thought of it)

• YTQNEVWORK (Doesn't work)

• YTQNEVREAS (No reason)

Although 16 alternative health modalities were covered in the 2007 alternative health supplement, only in the case of acupuncture (see ACUNEVCOST), chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation (see COMNEVCOST), meditation (see RELNEVCOST), and yoga were survey participants who had never used the method.
