Description

For sample adults age 18+ in 2002 who had a healing ritual or sacrament performed for their own health or treatment in the past 12 months (PRARITYR) and had used healing rituals/sacraments to treat a specific health problem or condition (PRATREAT), PRATOTH3 indicates whether the person had used healing rituals/sacraments to treat other 3.

Other 3, was one of 74 possible specific conditions that sample adults (but not sample children) could report treating with healing rituals/sacraments.

 

The other such conditions are:

  • arthritis, lupus, or fibromyalgia (PRATARTHLF, 2002 only)
  • bowel problems and constipation (PRATBOWL, 2002 only)
  • head or chest cold (PRATCOLD, 2002 only)
  • congestive heart failure (PRATCONGHF, 2002 only)
  • coronary heart disease (PRATCORON, 2002 only)
  • other nerve damage, CTS (PRATCTS, 2002 only)

  • skin problems (adults) (PRATSKINA, 2002 only)
  • varicose veins, hemorrhoids (PRATVEIN, 2002 only)

For most of the alternative health treatment modalities, the treatment of other 3 was reported for both 2002 and 2007. For one modality--healing rituals/sacraments--treatment of other 3 (and 73 other conditions) was reported in 2002 only. For two of the modalities--hypnosis and movement techniques--treatment of other 3 (and 115 other conditions) was included in 2007 only. (See HYPYR and MOVALEXYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of other 3 by alternative therapies other than healing rituals/sacraments should see PRARITYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments, as well as for a summary of healing ritual-related questions and definitions.

Comparability

PRATOTH3 is only available for 2002. Survey participants were asked about their use of most of the alternative health modalities to treat other 3 in 2007, but they were not asked about using healing rituals/sacraments to other 3 or most other specific health conditions in 2007.
