Hey!

This study is part of a master’s dissertation in Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, conducted by Alexandre Pinheiro and supervised by Professor Marta Pinto. The study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of FPCEUP.

The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between risk reduction strategies for psychedelic substances — such as preparation and integration of the experience — the types of experiences (mystical/challenging), and their long-term impacts.

Your participation would be incredibly valuable and would contribute significantly to advancing knowledge in this fascinating scientific field!

The survey is straightforward and takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. To participate, you must:
- Be 18 years or older
- Have had a psychedelic experience in a non-clinical setting within the past two years involving one of the following substances: LSD, psilocybin, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, ayahuasca, or mescaline.

The present study emerges within the scope of a master dissertation at the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Porto, to be carried out by Alexandre Pinheiro and supervised by Professor Marta Pinto. The aim of the study is to understand how the preparation of the psychedelic experience and its subsequent integration in non-clinical contexts can influence the after effects of the experience.

To participate in this study, it is necessary to be over 18 years old and to have had a psychedelic experience in a non-clinical setting involving the consumption of one of the following substances in the past two years: LSD, psilocybin, DMT, 5-MEO-DMT, ayahuasca, mescaline. Your participation involves answering a set of questions that will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. There are no participation benefits, however, your responses will contribute to advancing knowledge in this scientific domain.

Participation in the study is strictly voluntary: you may choose freely whether to participate or not. If you choose to participate, you may withdraw at any time without providing any justification. In addition to being voluntary, participation is also anonymous and confidential. The data obtained are intended for statistical analysis only, and no response will be analyzed or reported individually. At no point in the study do you need to identify yourself.

By participating in this study, you may recall difficult experiences that require integration. In order to minimize the risks associated with participation, a link will be provided at the end of the study where integration support can be sought if necessary.

If you wish to receive the results of this study or if you have comments, questions, or suggestions, you can contact us via email at [email protected]. Please note that your responses cannot be associated with your email address.
