Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this report is to document the results of cognitive testing on the 2007 Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) supplement of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Many of the survey questions were similar to those tested for the 2002 NHIS supplement and are designed to measure the use of CAM practices that are practitioner-based and those that are self-practiced. A new series of questions measuring respondent perceptions about CAM, as well as new and expanded sections on the use of herbal supplements and vitamins were also tested.
