People of Color have been under-included in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) research. Researchers have argued that systemic issues resulting in harms to communities of color like the War on Drugs and recurrent exposure to discrimination in healthcare settings may reduce their willingness to engage in PAT research. However, there are no empirical data regarding People of Color’s trust or willingness in using psychedelics with support of trained healthcare providers. Therefore, we analyzed data from a large-scale survey of people using psychedelics to explore interactions between People of Color and healthcare providers in North America.
