Implication

Mixed-methods research reveals that traditional medicine is more prevalent, while alternative medicine is supported by pseudoscientific beliefs and cultural narratives.

Key Points

  • Traditional medicine is more widely used compared to alternative medicine in Peru.
  • Pseudoscientific beliefs significantly predict the endorsement of both traditional and alternative health practices.
  • Natural language processing revealed unique justification patterns for traditional and alternative medicine usage.
  • Cultural and spiritual narratives shape public engagement with unconventional health practices in Peru.
