Hi all!
My name is Katie Lawson and I am a Clinical and Health Psychology master's student at the University of Liverpool.
I am looking to recruit participants for a scale development study, aiming to develop a questionnaire to assess people’s motivations for taking psychedelics, with the aim of producing a valid questionnaire that can be used in future research. The study has been approved by the University of Liverpool's ethics team. It should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete, though the majority of participants take 5-10 minutes to finish the survey. All responses will remain 100% anonymous, with no details such as your name or email being asked. You are only eligible if you are aged 18+; live in either the UK, European Union, USA or Canada; and do not have a current diagnosis of depression, anxiety, or substance use disorder. You must also have used at least one of the following substances in the past 12 months: magic mushrooms, LSD, DMT, 2-CB, NBOMes, Ayahuasca, Salvia, Mescaline, PCP, Peyote, or 2C-T-4. Your participation is appreciated!

We began recruiting participants on the 16th of January 2026, and data collection is estimated to end in June.
If you have any questions, please contact the student researcher, Katie Lawson, at [email protected] or via the bluelight messaging system, and I can refer you to my supervisor if required.


Thank you in advance!
Katie
 
May I share this with our Discord community?
Hi, please do! I was actually thinking of joining a few Discord channels to share it in, but I joined one and realised I don’t really understand how Discord works or how to post in it so gave up on the idea. That would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
