STATEMENT OF SUPPORT

We, the undersigned, strongly support the development of comprehensive social scientific insights on psychedelics public opinion and communication strategies as proposed by XandY (https://www.xandyanalytics.com/social-insights)

WHY THIS RESEARCH MATTERS

The psychedelic renaissance represents a critical opportunity to transform many important aspects of health and wellbeing. However, the successful integration of psychedelics and associated therapies into society depends not only on clinical research but also on thoughtful public engagement and effective communication strategies.

We support the proposed research initiative because of its ability to:

• Help us understand and address specific concerns or misconceptions that are prominent within our communities.
• Support advocacy organizations in developing targeted, effective outreach tailored to diverse audiences.
• Help bridge gaps between public perception and evidence.
• Support our efforts to promote responsible policies that protect both access and safety
• Strengthen our ability to build coalitions with healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders.
• Inform policy development that reflects both scientific understanding and community values.

By signing this petition, we affirm that:

• We believe this social science research would benefit the work of advocacy organizations.
• We recognize the importance of understanding public opinion in advancing psychedelic medicine.
• We support the development of this research as a valuable resource made available to the entire psychedelic community.

We encourage others to join in supporting the development of high-quality social science research that can inform and enhance advocacy efforts around psychedelics.
