Emerging findings suggest that complementary medicine (CM) approaches might help address the low access to earlier treatment and the complex needs of this population. Very little research has explored this topic in Europe. Thus, this study aimed to explore perceptions, experiences, and interests in CM among PEH in Switzerland.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Participants (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009123) were PEH in French-speaking Switzerland who completed a questionnaire assessing their use of and interest in CM. A subsample of the survey participants (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200918) and 14 professionals working in the homeless-serving sector participated in semi-structured interviews exploring perceived utility of CM for PEH. Descriptive statistics and conventional content analysis were used to analyze quantitative and qualitative data, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Quantitative findings showed that despite high levels of interest in CM, less than 30% of participants reported using CM at least once in the previous 6 months. The five CM modalities with the highest interest were osteopathy (61.5% interested or very interested), therapeutic massage (59.2%), nutritional supplements (57.1%), music therapy (50.8%), and acupuncture (49.1%). The qualitative findings reinforced the substantial interest in CM. They revealed that CM approaches were perceived as useful to mitigate some health and social issues frequently encountered in this population, ultimately contributing to improved health and well-being. Participants made recommendations for practices that would help engage and retain PEH in a CM program, such as making it accessible and equitable, and following certain steps to earn the trust of PEH. Finally, a minority of participants questioned the relevance of a CM program for this population, arguing instead that more urgent social and conventional medical needs must be addressed first.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Taken together, these findings suggest that integrative medicine, which incorporates conventional and complementary approaches to medical and social services may represent a suitable offering for PEH to address their competing bio-psycho-social needs. Using a community-based participatory approach to co-develop such a program might help to ensure effectiveness and thereby increase health equity.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12906-024-04727-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,6]],"date-time":"2025-05-06T12:57:55Z","timestamp":1746536275000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Complementary medicine among individuals experiencing homelessness in Switzerland: a quantitative and qualitative descriptive study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"V\u00e9ronique S.","family":"Grazioli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evelyne","family":"Hangartner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Bodenmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luana","family":"Schaad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L\u00e9a","family":"Grosjean","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Nikles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David J.
