Comparability

Prior to 2012, only sample adults who had seen a practitioner for a relaxation rechnique during the past 12 months were asked their reasons for using a relaxation rechnique.

Beginning in 2012, sample adults and sample children were instead asked to select three of sixteen therapies that were most important and only asked a series of follow-up questions related to treating health problems, symptoms, or conditions as well as reasons for and importance of use about these top three therapies. Persons who did not include a relaxation rechnique among their top three CAM therapies did not answer follow up questions for this therapy beginning in 2012 and are reported as responding "no."
