Description

For sample adults who had seen a practitioner for acupuncture during the past 12 months (ACUYR), ACUSWELL indicates whether they had used acupuncture "for general wellness or general disease prevention."

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)

• ACUSRELREC (Family or friends recommended)

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