Observational Pilot Study to Explore the Social and Health Impacts of a New Model of Care in Oregon: Psilocybin Services on Alcoholism

Sponsor: Healing Advocacy Fund

Summary

The purpose for this study is to observe the real world experience of participants who are receiving psilocybin in the context of (alcoholism) Alcohol Use Disorder without intervening in the model of care. The study team will engage directly with the participants to examine the outcomes in participants who have been deemed eligible and appropriate to receive psilocybin services at Oregon's Innertrek Patient Service Center (PSC) and who are willing to participate in the People Science pilot study to share their experience concurrently. Since the participant will be making the informed decision to voluntarily take part in this concurrent observational study, there will be no "doctor-patient" relationship between the participant and the People Science Study Investigator. Study participants will receive the standard of care and medical management from Oregon's Innertrek Patient Service Center facilitators as deemed appropriate per their existing guidelines and practices. People Science will solely be operating as an observer, using an agnostic research data capture system to collect outcomes and follow participant experiences throughout the course of their treatment journey. The study will incorporate participant-reported outcome measures, questionnaires and surveys. The primary endpoint in collecting study data will be to observe the impact of the Psilocybin-Assisted care model on the frequency of heavy drinking days through quantitative and qualitative data analysis for people who struggle with alcohol use. Non-quantitative narratives will also be captured. Throughout the People Science study observations, participants will be in the direct care of the Oregon Patient Service Center facilitators. Findings from this study will contribute knowledge toward the understanding of the use of psilocybin in individuals with self-described alcoholism (AUD).
