Type of Pharmacy. (PHARTP1-PHARTP8) Xxxxxxxxx respondents were asked to list the type of pharmacy from which household members purchased their medications. A respondent could list multiple pharmacies associated with each member’s prescriptions in a given round or over the course of all rounds combined covering the survey year. All household-reported pharmacies are provided on this file, but there is no link in the survey or in the data file enabling users to know the type of pharmacy from which a specific prescription was obtained if multiple pharmacies are listed. The variables PHARTP1 through PHARTP8 identify the types of pharmacy providers from which the person’s prescribed medicines were purchased. The possible types of pharmacies include the following: (1) mail- order, (2) another store, (3) HMO/clinic/hospital, (4) drug store, and (5) on-line. A -1 value for PHARTPn indicates that the household did not report “nth” pharmacy.
