The psychological processes of classic psychedelics in the treatment of depression: a systematic review protocol.

Syst Rev May 5, 2022 Lauren Johansen, Paul Liknaitzky, Maja Nedeljkovic et al. 9 citations

This systematic review will collect and summarize studies on the psychological processes that may explain how psychedelic therapy helps treat depression. The review will search four databases for research involving classic psychedelics in adults with depression, focusing on studies that report or propose psychological mechanisms behind symptom improvement. Two reviewers will independently screen and assess the studies, then synthesize findings separately for empirical and non-empirical work. Because this is a new field, the review expects to find limited empirical research and variation among studies. The goal is to map the current evidence, identify gaps, and suggest variables for future investigation.

Public involvement in an aggregate and individual participant data meta-analysis of mindfulness-based programmes for mental health promotion.

Syst Rev August 6, 2024 Claire Friedrich, Toni Fairbairn, Graham Denton et al.

This paper describes a process of public involvement in a meta-analysis that combines both aggregate and individual participant data to examine mindfulness-based programs for mental health promotion. The involvement includes contributions from people with lived experience and members of the public in shaping the research questions, interpreting findings, and disseminating results. The work highlights how such collaboration can enhance the relevance and applicability of evidence synthesis in mental health.
