Hypnosis is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. In both 2002 and 2007, information about hypnosis was collected on many topics (such as the cost of treatment); however, only the 2007 survey included questions about using hypnosis to treat a standard list of specific conditions. (See HYPYR for more information.)

Persons could report treating constipation needing medication by 15 of the 16 alternative health modalities. The omitted alternative treatment is prayer, which was included as a treatment for specific health problems in the 2002 survey only; however, constipation needing medication was not a specific conditions recognized in 2002. (See PRASELFEV for more information about the treatment of specific conditions by prayer.) Analysts interested in the treatment of constipation needing medication by alternative therapies other than hypnosis should see HYPYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments, as well as for a summary of other hypnosis-related questions and definitions.

Sample adults were asked, "Did you use hypnosis for a specific health problem or condition?" The question wording for sample children emphasizes that the hypnosis must have occurred within the past 12 months: "During the past 12 months, did [fill: sample child's name] use hypnosis for a specific health problem or condition?" This difference in question wording is minimized, however, because two of the questions for sample adults preceding HYPTCONST (HYPYR and HYPNO) did specify the 12 month time frame. Persons were only asked the question for HYPTCONST if they had earlier indicated in HYPYR that they had seen a practitioner for hypnosis during the past 12 months.
