Questions for Collecting Information on Use of Specific Herbs
In 2002, interviewers showed respondents a flash card listing the names of 35 herbs and asked, "During the past 12 months, did you use any of the following natural herbs for health reasons?" Interviewers were instructed to "mark all that apply."
[show more]The 2000 NHIS also inquired about respondents' use of herbs. The 2000 survey included some, but not all, of the same herbs as the 2002 survey, as well as some additional herbs not included in 2000. See HERYALOE for a description of how that information was collected in 2002.
