For sample adults in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for a special diet during the past 12 months (DITPRACYR), DITPRACOTH indicates whether the practitioner seen was some "Other" type of practitioner. For DITPRACOTH, "Other" means that the practitioner was not a medical doctor, nurse, dietician/nutritionist, or alternate provider (acupuncturist, chiropractor, massage therapist, naturopath, etc.).
