Description
For sample adults age 18+ in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for a therapeutic movement technique during the past 12 months (MOVALEXYR, MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, MOVTRAGYR) and had used a movement technique to treat a specific health problem or condition (MOVTREAT), MOVTANGINA indicates whether the person had used a movement technique to treat angina.

Additionally, there are 30 other conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with a movement technique. For the full list of conditions, see MOVTREAT.
Altogether, 16 modalities of alternative medicine were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. The use of movement techniques, however, was only included in the 2007 Supplement. For most of the alternative health treatment modalities, the treatment of angina was reported for both 2002 and 2007. For two of the modalities--movement techniques and hypnosis--treatment of angina (and 115 other conditions) was included in 2007 only. (See HYPYR for more information.) For one modality--prayer--treatment of angina (and 73 other conditions) was reported in 2002 only. (See PRARITYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of angina by alternative therapies other than movement techniques should see ACUYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments. Additionally, MOVALEXYR provides a summary of other movement technique-related questions and definitions.
Comparability
MOVTANGINA is only available for 2007. Sample adults were asked about their use of most of the alternative health modalities to treat angina in 2002, but they were not asked about using movement techniques to treat angina or most other specific health conditions in 2002.
In 2007, sample adults were asked, "For what health problems or conditions did you use [fill: type of movement technique]?"
MOVTANGINA should be interpreted in conjunction with MOVALEXYR, MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, and MOVTRAGYR, which indicate the specific movement technique (i.e., Alexander Technique, Feldenkreis, Pilates, or Trager Integration) used by the survey participant.
Sample adults who had used more than one type of movement technique in the past year were asked to choose which movement technique they had used the most (MOVTYPMOST). The survey form instructed field representatives, "If respondent cannot choose one movement technique, probe for the one most important for health." Field representatives then filled in the above survey question for MOVTANGINA with the movement technique indicated by MOVTYPMOST.
