Description

For sample adults who had received over-the-counter medications (MOVNPMED) for the condition they used a movement technique for the most (MOVTCONMOST), MOVNPMEDTIM indicates whether they received non-prescription medications before, at about the same time, or after trying a movement technique.

Similar information was collected on the use of other conventional medical treatments, and the timing of those conventional treatments, in the following variables:

• Received mental health counseling (MOVCOUN)

• Timing of mental health counseling (MOVCOUNTIM

• Received prescription medications (MOVPMED)

• Timing of prescription medications (MOVPMEDTIM

• Received physical therapy (MOVPT)

• Timing of physical therapy (MOVPTTIM

• Received surgery (MOVSURG)

• Timing of surgery (MOVSURGTIM

To collect this information, interviewers asked, "Did you receive any of these conventional medical treatments for [condition for which the reported movement technique was used the most]?" and entered all treatments reported by the respondent. For each treatment reported, interviewers asked whether such treatment was received before, at about the same time, or after trying a movement technique.

For more information about the full range of variables related to movement techniques, including definitions, see MOVALEXYR.
