Description
For sample adults in 2002 who had used energy healing therapy for their own health during the past 12 months (EHTYR) and had used energy healing therapy to treat at least one specific health problem or condition (EHTTREAT), EHTCON3 reports the third of the three most bothersome conditions treated with energy healing therapy.
The 2002 NHIS recognized 74 conditions (including an "other" category) that respondents could have treated with energy healing therapy. (See EHTTREAT for the full list.) To obtain responses to EHTCON3, the interviewer first asked, "For what health problems or conditions did you use energy healing therapy?" After recording all answers, the interviewer displayed the list of conditions reported by the respondent and asked, "Which three of these are the most bothersome?" These three conditions are reported in EHTCON1, EHTCON2, and EHTCON3.
Respondents were also asked how much energy healing therapy had helped the three conditions reported to be most bothersome. The following variables report the degree of help from energy healing therapy for each of the three most bothersome conditions: EHTCON1HELP, EHTCON2HELP, and EHTCON3HELP.
