Description

For sample adults who had seen a practitioner for acupuncture during the past 12 months (ACUYR), ACUSRELREC indicates whether they had used acupuncture because "it was recommended by family, friends, or co-workers."

Other reasons for using acupuncture that were recorded by the survey, and the associated IHIS variables, are:

• ACUSHCREC (Health care provider recommended)

• ACUSENERGY (Enhanced energy)

• ACUSINTER (Interesting to try)

• ACUSMEDCOST (Medical treatments expensive)

• ACUSMEDFAIL (Medical treatment not help)

• ACUSCOMBO (Helps combined w. conventional med)

• ACUSIMMUN (Improved immune function)

• ACUSWELL (General wellness)

For information about the full range of variables related to acupuncture, including definitions, see ACUYR.
