Description
For sample adults in 2007 who had received surgery (VIT2TSURG) for the condition they used a second vitamin supplement for the most (VIT2TCONMOST), VIT2TSURGTIM indicates whether they received surgery before, at about the same time, or after they began using the second vitamin supplement.
To collect this information, interviewers asked, "Did you receive any of these conventional medical treatments for [condition for which second vitamin supplement was used the most]?" and entered all treatments reported by the respondent. For each treatment reported, interviewers asked whether such treatment was received before, at about the same time, or after beginning to take the second vitamin supplement.
