Description

For sample adults age 18+ in 2002 and 2007 who had seen a practitioner for naturopathy in the past 12 months (NATYR) and had used naturopathy to treat a specific health problem or condition (NATTREAT), NATTANGINA indicates whether the person had used naturopathy to treat angina.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (NATTRHEUM, 2007 only)

  • varicose veins, hemorrhoids (NATTVEIN)

Additionally, there are 31 other conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with naturopathy. For the full list of conditions, see NATTREAT.

Naturopathy is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Persons could report treating angina 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 angina by other alternative therapies should see NATYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other naturopathy-related questions, including definitions.

Comparability

The question wording for sample adults did not change at all from 2002 to 2007. In both years, they were asked, "For what health problems or conditions did you use naturopathy?"
