Catalogue summary
A nationally representative 2001 survey across eight former Soviet states placed Armenian use of folk practitioners at 3.5 percent, versus 25 percent in Kyrgyzstan.
Why this matters
The Armenian minimum supplies comparative evidence for regulating alternative care and investigating how rural residence, wealth, and medical distrust shape use.
