Description
For sample adults age 18+ in 2002 and sample children under 18 in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for ayurveda in the past 12 months (AYUYR) and had used ayurveda to treat a specific health problem or condition (AYUTREAT), AYUTFALL indicates whether the person had used ayurveda to treat allergy to food.

Additionally, there are 72 other conditions sample adults only could report treating with ayurveda, and 28 other conditions that could be reported for sample children only. For the full list of conditions, see AYUTREAT.
Ayurveda is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Persons could report treating allergy to food by any of those methods, although 3 of the methods are not available as treatments for specific health problems in both years. Hypnosis and movement techniques were included as treatments for specific health problems in the 2007 survey only. See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information. Conversely, prayer was included as a treatment for specific health problems in the 2002 survey only, when just sample adults were asked about their use of alternative and complementary medicine. See PRASELFEV for more information. Analysts interested in the treatment of allergy to food by other alternative therapies should see AYUYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other ayurveda-related questions, including definitions.
Comparability
The question wording differs slightly between sample adults and sample children. Sample adults in 2002 were asked, "For what health problems or conditions did you use ayurveda?" The question wording for sample children in 2007 emphasizes that the ayurveda treatment must have occurred within the past 12 months: "DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS, for what health problems or conditions did [fill: sample child's name] use ayurveda?" This difference in question wording is minimized, however, because two of the questions for sample adults preceding AYUTFALL (AYUYR and AYUNO) did specify the 12 month time frame. Persons were only asked the question for AYUTFALL if they had earlier indicated in AYUYR that they had in fact seen a practitioner for ayurveda during the past 12 months.
