Description

For sample adults in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for a special diet during the past 12 months (DITPRACYR), DITPRACNO reports how many times the respondent had seen such a practitioner during the past year.

Response categories for DITPRACNO report the number of visits to a practitioner in grouped intervals, ranging from "Only one time" to "More than 20 times".
