Hallucinogens and Psychedelics01:27

Hallucinogens and Psychedelics

143
Hallucinogens are psychoactive substances that profoundly alter perceptual experiences, generating unreal visual and sensory images. Often referred to as psychedelic drugs — a term derived from the Greek words "psyche" (mind) and "delos" (revealing) — these substances include marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), among others. These drugs vary in intensity and effects.
Marijuana, derived from the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant, contains...

CNS Stimulants: Psychedelic Agents

102
Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelic drugs, are a class of substances known for their ability to alter perception, cognition, and emotions. Despite their profound effects on the mind, these drugs are non-addictive, setting them apart from many other abused substances. The mechanism of action of these drugs lies in their impact on the 5-HT2A receptor in the brain. Upon activation, this receptor couples to Gq-type G proteins, triggering a cascade that releases intracellular calcium. This...

Altered States of Awareness01:06

Altered States of Awareness

114
Altered states of consciousness represent significant deviations from one's normal mental state. These deviations can range from subtle changes in awareness to profound transformations in perception, thought processes, and sensory experiences. Altered states of consciousness can be triggered by various factors, including drug use, meditation, hypnosis, illness, or even intense fatigue.
The ingestion of substances like stimulants or hallucinogens leads to chemical alterations in the brain...

An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs

186
Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

24
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

People of Color are underrepresented in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) research. Despite systemic barriers, their willingness to use psychedelics with providers suggests trust is not the sole issue.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) research has historically underrepresented People of Color.
  • Systemic issues, including discrimination and historical harms, may deter participation.
  • Empirical data on People of Color's trust and willingness in PAT is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore People of Color's interactions with healthcare providers regarding psychedelic use.
  • To investigate potential barriers to People of Color's inclusion in psychedelic research.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a large-scale survey data (N=4,372) including White, People of Color, and Multiracial participants.
  • Exploration of psychedelic use patterns, disclosure to providers, and motivations.
  • Comparison of attitudes towards psychedelic-assisted therapy between racial groups.

Main Results:

  • A lower proportion of People of Color used psychedelics with trained providers.
  • People of Color disclosed psychedelic use to primary care providers at equal rates.
  • People of Color showed equal motivation and reported similar effectiveness for psychedelic use compared to other groups.

Conclusions:

  • Lack of trust may not fully explain the underrepresentation of People of Color in PAT research.
  • Further research is needed to identify other barriers to inclusion.
  • Findings challenge assumptions about willingness to engage in psychedelic research.
