Developing the Open Psychedelic Evaluation Nexus consensus measures for assessment of supervised psilocybin services: An e-Delphi study

Journal of Psychopharmacology June 18, 2024 Kim Hoffman, Alissa Bazinet, Kellie Pertl et al. 14 citations

Experts with extensive experience facilitating psilocybin experiences, including in ceremonial settings, indigenous practices, and clinical trials, developed a set of core measures to monitor the safety, quality, and outcomes of supervised psilocybin services. Through a three-phase e-Delphi process with 36 experts, 55 candidate measures were identified and then prioritized to a core set of 11 process measures (e.g., preparatory hours with client, documentation of touch/sexual boundaries), 11 outcome measures (e.g., adverse events, well-being), and 17 structure measures (e.g., facilitator training in trauma informed care). The findings suggest that service providers and policy makers should consider standardizing these measures for community-based psilocybin services.

Oregon's Emerging Psilocybin Services Workforce: A Survey of the First Legal Psilocybin Facilitators and Their Training Programs

March 11, 2026 Jason B Luoma, Kim Hoffman, Adie Wilson-Poe et al. preprint

Oregon's early psilocybin facilitator workforce is relatively diverse, with many holding existing healthcare licenses, though training expenses pose a moderate-to-severe financial strain for most. The mean tuition across 16 active training programs was $9,359, half offered diversity scholarships, and the mean planned session price was $1,388. Facilitators most commonly specialized in trauma, mental disorders, consciousness exploration, and spirituality, and most were satisfied with training while requesting ongoing opportunities. These findings inform future policy and program development for a diverse and effective workforce.
