Psychedelic Science
Communicating about Mental Health and Psychedelics: An Online Survey
Psychedelic-assisted treatments are expected to be an official choice of action to treat a range of mental health conditions within the next decade. Despite the potential these treatments has shown, the unique situations faced by people of colour have failed to be included in the vast majority of studies in this growing field. This poses many potential issues for the future development of psychedelic science especially since BIPOC may be more resistant to upcoming treatments due to their lower degrees of association with stigmatized illegal substances. To better reflect the diversity of North America’s population and ensure that the new upcoming treatments are accessible to all, regardless of race and ethnicity, it is crucial that BIPOC are included in more studies, and that they feel more comfortable engaging with these substances. In sum, in order to maximize the potential of future psychedelic treatments and have these medicines accessible to everyone, it is crucial that an effective mode of culturally consonant communication is developed.
