The Association Between Complementary and Integrative Health Service Use and Completion of a Residential Rehabilitation Program for Veterans Experiencing Homelessness
To explore the association between complementary and integrative health (CIH) service use and completion of a Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans (DCHV) program.
Methods:
The sample included 227 veterans enrolled at one DCHV program between September 2021 and September 2023. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted.
Results:
Veterans with 4–6 encounters and 7 or more encounters had 3.3 times and 4.8 times greater odds of program completion compared with veterans who did not have any CIH encounters, repectively.
Conclusion:
Study results indicated that increased use of CIH services was associated with an increased likelihood of DCVH program completion.
