Description

For sample adults who had seen a practitioner for a therapeutic movement technique during the past 12 months (MOVALEXYR, MOVFELDYR, MOVPILATYR, MOVTRAGYR), MOVUMEDFAIL indicates whether they had used the movement technique because "medical treatments did not help."

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

• MOVUSHCREC (Health care provider recommended)

• MOVUSENERGY (Enhanced energy)

• MOVUSIMMUN (Improved immune function)

• MOVUSMEDCOST (Medical treatment expensive)

• MOVUSRELREC (Friends or family recommended)

• MOVUSWELL (General wellness)

For information about the full range of variables related to movement techniques, including definitions, see MOVALEXYR.
