Description
For sample children under 18 in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for naturopathy in the past 12 months (NATYR) and had used naturopathy to treat a specific health problem or condition (NATTREAT), NATTACNE indicates whether the child had used naturopathy to treat other allergies -- children.

There are 31 other conditions that both sample children and sample adults could report treating with naturopathy. For the full list of conditions, see NATTREAT.
Naturopathy is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Persons could report that sample children treated other allergies -- children by 15 of those methods. (The omitted alternative treatment is prayer, which was included as a treatment for specific health problems in the 2002 survey only, when just sample adults were asked about their use of alternative and complementary medicine. See PRASELFEV for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of other allergies -- children by other alternative therapies should see NATYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other naturopathy-related questions, as well as definitions.
Comparability
This variable is only available for 2007. Treatment of many other specific conditions by naturopathy was covered in the 2002 Alternative Health Supplement, but other allergies -- children was not identified as a specific condition for treatment by alternative medicine in that year. The survey classified other allergies -- children as a specific health condition for children only, and sample children were not included in the 2002 Alternative Health Supplement.
