Description
For sample adults who had seen a practitioner for hypnosis during the past 12 months (HYPYR), HYPUSHCREC indicates whether the person had used hypnosis because it was recommended by a health care provider. See Survey Text tab for specific changes in question wording between samples; the specificity of the possible health care professionals persons could tell about their use of hypnosis change slightly across surveys.
For information about the full range of variables related to hypnosis, including definitions, see HYPYR. For related variables and more information, please see TABDOM1, or use the search function or IPUMS NHIS drop-down menus.
Comparability
Prior to 2012, sample adults who had seen a practitioner for hypnosis during the past 12 months and, in 2002, had used hypnosis for a specific health problem or condition were asked their reasons for using hypnosis.
Beginning in 2012, sample adults and sample children were instead 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 as well as reasons for and importance of use of these top three therapies. Persons who did not include hypnosis among their top three CAM therapies did not answer follow up questions for this therapy beginning in 2012 and are reported as responding no.
