Description
For sample adults who had used a special diet during the past 12 months (DITATKINYR, DITMACYR, DITORNYR, DITPRITYR, DITSBYR, DITVEGYR, or DITZONYR) and had told a conventional medical professional about their use of a special diet (DITLCONVHP), DITLPSYCHO indicates whether they had reported their use of a special diet to a psychologist or social worker.
In both 2002 and 2007, interviewers asked, "During the past 12 months, did you let any of these conventional medical professionals know about your use of a special diet?" and handed the respondent a card listing several types of conventional health care practitioners. If the answer was affirmative (i.e., a "Yes" response in DITLCONVP), interviewers asked the follow-up question, "Which ones [did you tell]?" and noted, "You may choose more than one."
In both 2002 and 2007, the list of conventional medical professionals included the following:
- Medical doctor (including specialists) (DITLMD)
- Nurse Practitioner/Physician Assistant (DITLNURS)
- Psychiatrist (DITLPSYCHI)
- Dentist (including specialists) (DITLDENT)
In 2007, the list included additional categories of conventional medical professionals. One such addition was "psychologist/social worker." The other categories of conventional medical professionals that were specified in 2007 only were:
- Pharmacist (DITLPHARM)
- Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) (DITLDO)
For more information about the full range of variables related to a special diet, including definitions, see DITATKINYR.
Comparability
DITLPSYCHO is available for 2007 only. In both 2002 and 2007, information was collected on whether use of a special diet was reported to a psychiatrist. For comparison of results between the two years, researchers may wish to combine the variables relating to psychiatrists and psychologists/social workers; see DITLPSYCHI for discussion.
For discussion of comparability issues affecting DITLPSYCHO and related variables, see DITLCONVHP. Only persons with a positive response in DITLCONVHP were asked the follow-up question for DITLPSYCHO.
