Description
RELUSWELL indicates whether the person had used a relaxation technique "for general wellness or general disease prevention."
For information about the full range of variables related to a relaxation rechnique, including definitions, see RELAXYR. For related variables and more information, please see TABDOM1, or use the search function or IPUMS NHIS drop-down menus.
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."
