PAP Coding and Data Analysis
To get an idea of what people’s views were of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, I made a survey and posted it on all of my social media platforms. I then used this available data to carry out my own analysis and coding, identifying overarching themes.
_Initial thoughts are mostly positive (22), few skeptical participants (8), and even fewer negative (6).
_Out of the participants that have participated in psychedelics, most said their experience was for recreational purposes (26), and for therapeutic benefits (13).
_Almost half of the participants said they were interested in participating in psychedelic drugs, and would like to know more about the subject.
_Most of the participants who have participated in psychedelic drugs would or would potentially be interested in sharing their experience.
_From those who have turned away from using psychedelic drugs, their concerns consisted of legal issues, lack of interest, haven’t had the opportunity, and fear of psychological harm or damage.
_The most popular method of learning more about this topic is an exhibition space, followed by an Instagram feed.
The analyzed and coded data from my survey can be found on these sheets:
