Description

EHTTCONMOST reports the condition for which the person has used energy healing therapy to treat the most. Please see the Comparability and Universe tabs for more information on changes in this variable over time.

Comparability

Prior to 2012, in universe persons were asked about a series of specific health problems, symptoms, or conditions they may have treated with different complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies.

Beginning in 2012, in universe persons were asked to select three of sixteen therapies that were most important and only asked the series of questions related to treating health problems, symptoms, or conditions about these top three therapies. Unlike other CAM variables created through special programming in 2012, EHTTCONMOST excludes persons who did not report energy healing among their top three CAM therapies. Persons who wish to include these cases in the universe for EHTTCONMOST, may identify such persons by using the variables CAMTHER1, CAMTHER2, and CAMTHER3, which report the person's top three CAM therapies.

Changes in universe also pose comparability challenges; in 2007, only sample adults were included in the universe. Beginning in 2012, however, sample adults and sample children are included in the universe.

Universe

  • 2007: Sample adults age 18+ who have seen a practitioner for energy healing therapy during the past 12 months and have used energy healing therapy for at least one specific health problem or condition.
  • 2012: Sample adults age 18+ and sample children ages 4-17 who have reported having at least one top CAM therapy and using this therapy to treat a specific health problem or condition.
