In recent times, the exploration of the potential impact of psychedelic experiences on mental well-being has garnered significant interest. Our current research presents an innovative approach that melds state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) analysis with traditional qualitative and quantitative methodologies, offering initial glimpses into the intricate relationship between psychedelic encounters and mental health outcomes. Our research framework employs an open questionnaire, oriented to Spanish-speaking population (CEFE: Cuestionario sobre la Experiencia Fenomenológica con Enteógenos), to elicit detailed descriptions of participants' experiences.

Data Policy
This research data policy outlines our commitment to ensuring the anonymity and confidentiality of participants' personal identity in the context of our study on the impact of psychedelic experiences on mental health. We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of our participants and maintaining the integrity of the data collected.
All data collected from participants will be treated with the utmost respect for their privacy. Personal identifiers such as names, contact information, and any identifying details will be stripped from the dataset upon collection.
Any data shared during the study will be presented in an aggregated and anonymized manner in research publications, presentations, and reports. This ensures that individual participants cannot be identified based on their responses.
Access to the collected data will be restricted to authorized research personnel only. Researchers involved in the study will be trained to handle sensitive information with care and maintain confidentiality. Participant data will be stored on secure servers and cloud storage solutions, protected by robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
Exclusion Criteria
Participants who do not meet the eligibility criteria outlined below will be excluded from participating in this study. Exclusion criteria include individuals under the age of 18, those with a history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or psychotic episodes. Additionally, individuals who have been diagnosed or treated for mental health disorders that could potentially interfere with their participation will also be excluded. We are dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of our participants and appreciate your understanding of these limitations. A Participant Exclusion Form will proceed the Study Questionary to ensure all participants are informed of the exclusion criteria. If you have any questions about your eligibility, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your cooperation is essential to the integrity of our research.
Open Call
A carefully designed online questionnaire has been deployed, encompassing a range of psychedelic consumption scenarios: microdosing, medium doses, and recreational doses. Participants are prompted to detail their experiences of non-volitional kinetic phenomena, energy-like somatic sensations, other phenomenological experiences and corresponding emotional responses. Data collection is conducted through an open call, inviting individuals who have engaged in psychedelic experiences to share their insights. Responses were anonymized and securely stored for analysis.
