Additionally, there are 31 other conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with massage. For the full list of conditions, see MASTREAT.
Massage is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Respondents could report treating anxiety or depression by 14 of those methods. (The omitted alternative treatments are hypnosis and movement techniques, which were included as treatments for specific health problems in the 2007 survey only. See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of anxiety or depression by other alternative therapies should see MASYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other massage-related questions, as well as definitions.
Comparability
This variable is only available for 2002. However, separate variables for the treatment of anxiety (MASTANX) and depression with massage (MASTDEPRES) are available for 2007.
