Description

HER1SEX indicates whether sample adults had used a first herbal supplement to improve sexual performance. Only sample adults who had taken one or more herbal supplements during the past 30 days (HERMOSUPNO) were asked their reasons for using herbal supplements.

Related Variables 

Other reasons for using a first herbal supplement that were recorded by the survey, and the associated IPUMS NHIS variables, are:

  • HER1DRUGCOST (Prescription or non-prescription drugs too expensive)
  • HER1MENT (Improved mental ability or memory)
  • HER1PHYS (Improved physical performance)
  • HER1TREAT (Treat a disease or health problem)
  • HER1PREV (Prevent a disease or health problem)

For sample adults who had taken two or more herbal supplements in the past 30 days, parallel information was recorded on their reasons for taking the second herbal supplement. (See, for example, HER2SEX.)
