The aforementioned variables indicating which conditions respondents treated via hypnosis provide a "yes" or "no" response for each condition. Analysts interested in the conditions that hypnosis was used to treat may wish to consult the following summary variables, as well:

• condition for which hypnosis was used most (HYPTCONMOST)

• condition count for hypnosis (HYPCONNO)

In 2007, sample adults were asked, "Did you use hypnosis for a specific health problem or condition?"

By contrast, the question wording for sample children emphasizes that the hypnosis must have occurred within the past 12 months: "During the past 12 months, did [fill: sample child's name] use hypnosis for a specific health problem or condition?"

However, two of the questions for sample adults preceding HYPTREAT (HYPYR and HYPNO) did specify the 12 month time frame. Respondents were only asked the question for HYPTREAT if they indicated in HYPYR that they had seen a practitioner for hypnosis during the past 12 months.
