Description
For sample adults in 2007 who had ever used natural herbs (HEREV) but had not done so in the past 30 days (HERMO), HERNOMCOST identifies those who responded, "It costs too much" when asked, "Please tell me the reasons why you have not used any of these natural herbs in the past 30 days." Respondents could supply more than one reason for not using natural herbs in the past month.
