Description
For sample adults in 2007 who had seen a practitioner or had taken a class for a relaxation technique during the past 12 months (RELBRETHYR, RELGIMYR, RELMEDYR, RELRELAXYR, RELSTRESYR, or RELSUPYR), RELCLASSNO reports how many times the respondent had seen such a practitioner or had taken such a class during the past year.
Response categories for RELCLASSNO report the number of visits to a practitioner in grouped intervals, ranging from "Only one time" to "More than 20 times". Those who had seen a practitioner or had taken a class for a relaxation technique were also asked what the average out-of-pocket expense for each visit to a practitioner or class had been (RELCLASSPAY).
