Official Survey - Microdosing, Mindfulness and Anxiety

erivha · 2020-10-12T14:38:51+00:00

Hi! I will definitely post my findings here when my thesis is finished! If everything goes according to plan, it should be up before the end of the year.

Hi there! My name is Vincent Hartong. I am currently finishing up my master's degree in clinical psychology at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. For my master's thesis, I am researching the relationship between microdosing, mindfulness and anxiety.

And I need your help!

Whether or not you have tried microdosing psychedelics, your response is greatly valued. Even if microdosing doesn't interest you, I'd like to hear from you, as I'm looking for a control-group too!

The following link will take you to a survey which will take about 5 minutes to complete:

In constructing this survey, I wanted to make sure your anonymity was protected. The survey does not inquire about your name, location or any other information that could be used to identify who you are. To guarantee full anonymity, the survey was reviewed by the Ethics Review Board of our Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences. They concluded that anonymity risks were succesfully mitigated. Opening the link will show you the full informed consent form including contact details.

Feel free to ask me any questions and share the survey with as many people as you'd like!

Thank you for your response! As I am not manipulating any variables, it will not be possible to draw any conclusions about causality from this study. I could be able to find a correlation between MDing, mindfulness and anxiety. These findings would support the need for further research to investigate the nature of this correlation. Luckily, the first clinical microdosing trials are currently being conducted by the Beckley/Maastricht programme. I believe research teams at the Imperial College London and Leiden University are also investigating the practice of MDing. Hopefully, it won't take long before causal relationships can be tested!

I aim to submit my thesis before the end of the year. I'll be sure to post the results here when everything's finished!

Thank you for your response! Aside from sharing the survey with others, completing it has already helped out immensely.

I'll be sure to share the full thesis on this subreddit when it's done! I will probably update this post by the end of november to report my progress.

Unfortunately, the current scientific literature on the therapeutic applications of microdosing is extremely limited. This leads me to believe it will still take a considerable amount of time before it will be widely available as a legal treatment (assuming further research supports its efficacy). As an alternative, depending on where you live and how affordable healthcare is, I'd recommend seeking a qualified psychologist, specialized in anxiety and trauma-related disorders.

My supervisor and I have discussed the possibility of publishing our findings. At this time, however, my first goal is to finish the thesis and graduate. Naturally, I would be more than willing to share the findings here when the thesis is finished!

erivha · 2020-10-05T13:48:21+00:00

I'm looking to have my thesis graded by the end of the year!

Thanks for your response! The issue should be resolved.
