Description
For sample adults aged 18 and over and sample children aged 4-17 who reported using at least three top complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) therapies, USMEDFAIL3 reports if the person used the third CAM therapy because medical treatments did not work for his/her health problems. USMEDFAIL3 can be paired with CAMTHER3, which reports the corresponding CAM therapy that was used because medical treatments did not work for his/her health problems.
