MOVTCOLD
Used movement technique for: Head or chest cold
Group: Movement Technique - Conditions — PERSON

Description

For sample adults age 18+ and sample children under 18 in 2007 who had seen a practitioner for a therapeutic movement technique in the past 12 months (MOVALEXYR, MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, MOVTRAGYR) and had used a movement technique to treat a specific health problem or condition (MOVTREAT), MOVTCOLD indicates whether the person had used a movement technique to treat a head or chest cold.

Related Variables

Head or chest colds were one of 30 possible specific conditions that both sample adults and sample children could report treating with a movement technique.

 

The other such conditions such are:

  • attention deficit disorder (MOVTADD, 2007 only)
  • constipation needing medication (MOVTCONST, 2007 only)
  • influenza or pneumonia (MOVTFLU, 2007 only)
  • migraine or severe headache (MOVTMIG, 2007 only)
  • other developmental problem (MOVTODD, 2007 only)
  • other lung or breathing problem (MOVTOLUNG, 2007 only)
  • other musculoskeletal problems (MOVTOMUSC, 2007 only)

Additionally, there are 57 other conditions sample adults only could report treating with a movement technique, and 29 other conditions that could be reported for sample children only. For the full list of conditions, see MOVTREAT.

Altogether, 16 modalities of alternative medicine were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. The use of movement techniques, however, was only included in the 2007 Supplement. For most of the alternative health treatment modalities, the treatment of head or chest colds was reported for both 2002 and 2007. For two of the modalities--movement techniques and hypnosis--treatment of head or chest colds (and 115 other conditions) was included in 2007 only. (See HYPYR for more information.) For one modality--prayer--treatment of head or chest colds (and 73 other conditions) was reported in 2002 only. (See PRARITYR for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of head or chest colds by alternative therapies other than movement techniques should see ACUYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments. Additionally, MOVALEXYR provides a summary of other movement technique-related questions and definitions.

Comparability

MOVTCOLD is only available for 2007. Sample adults were asked about their use of most of the alternative health modalities to treat head or chest cold in 2002, but they were not asked about using movement techniques to treat head or chest cold or most other specific health conditions in 2002.

Question wording differed slightly for sample adults and sample children.

 

In 2007, sample adults were asked, "For what health problems or conditions did you use [fill: type of movement technique]?"

In 2007, the question for sample children asked, "During the past 12 months, for what health problems or conditions did [fill: sample child's name] use [fill: Feldenkreis/Alexander Technique/Pilates/Trager Psychophysical Integration]?"

MOVTCOLD should be interpreted in conjunction with MOVALEXYR, MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, and MOVTRAGYR, which indicate the specific movement technique used by the survey participant.

 

Sample adults (but not sample children) who had used more than one type of movement technique in the past year were asked to choose which movement technique they had used the most (MOVTYPMOST). The survey form instructed field representatives, "If respondent cannot choose one movement technique, probe for the one most important for health." Field representatives then filled in the above survey question for sample adults with the movement technique indicated by MOVTYPMOST.
