Migraine-related contraindications were determined by presence of ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes in VA administrative data: migraine with aura (346.0, 346.3, 346.5, 346.6) within 10 years prior to the study interview or any migraine (346.xx) within 12 months prior to study interview for women 35 years or older. All other conditions were determined via self-report on the survey instrument.
