Persons taking more than one vitamin supplement during the past 30 days were also asked whether their second vitamin supplement was used to prevent a specific problem or condition (VIT2PREV) and, if so, what was that condition. Similarly, persons taking herbal supplements during the past 30 days (HERMO) were asked whether those herbal supplements were used to prevent a specific condition (see HER1PREV and HER2PREV).

VIT1MOST reports the specific first vitamin supplement (out of 20 possible vitamins) that was taken most often by the respondent. Analysts interested in the prevention of schizophrenia by other vitamin or herbal supplements should see the related variables VIT2PSCHIZ, HER1PSCHIZ, and HER2PSCHIZ. The corresponding variables VIT2MOST, HER1MOST, and HER2MOST indicate which vitamin or herbal supplement was taken.

Sample adults and sample children were also asked about their use of vitamin supplements to treat (rather than to prevent) health problems or conditions (VIT1TREAT and VIT2TREAT). Researchers interested in the use of vitamin supplements to treat schizophrenia should see VIT1TSCHIZ and VIT2TSCHIZ. For more information on the full range of variables related to the use of vitamin supplements, see VITMO.
