The 2002 and 2007 NHIS included supplements covering a range of alternative health practices (see ACUYR). For more information on the variables related to the use of herbs in those years, see HERMO and HERYR.
In addition to including HERPRACPAY, the 2007 survey includes 17 other variables that provide data on the average out-of-pocket cost per visit to a practitioner or for a class for a particular alternative health modality, as well as data on the cost of alternative health materials purchased by the respondent. See ACUPAID for the full list.
