Implication

Mixed-methods research shows prevalence in traditional and alternative medicine in Peru, highlighting psychosocial factors influencing choices.

Key Points

  • Traditional medicine is used more widely than alternative medicine among participants in Peru.
  • Pseudoscientific beliefs strongly predict the endorsement of both traditional and alternative medicine.
  • Natural language processing revealed distinct justification patterns for traditional and alternative medicine practices.
  • Cultural narratives significantly influence the justification of traditional medicine compared to biomedical arguments for alternatives.
