Frontiers in Psychiatry April 14, 2023 Jennifer L. Jones 4 citations
A nationwide survey of 918 people with alcohol or substance use disorders found that most support medical research on MDMA (68.1%), believe MDMA-assisted therapy could be useful (70.1%), and would be willing to try it if appropriate (58.8%). Support for research and belief in effectiveness did not differ by race or ethnicity, but small disparities appeared in willingness to try MDMA-assisted therapy and concerns about its use. The findings highlight the need for equitable access and diverse participation as psychedelic-assisted therapy develops.
