Setting Standards

An international panel of 89 experts across 17 countries created the first consensus guidelines for reporting “set and setting” in psychedelic clinical trials. These new ReSPCT standards cover 30 key variables, including lighting, music, room design, therapist training, and session flow, to improve consistency, safety, and scientific reproducibility. By formalizing how non-drug factors are documented, the guidelines aim to support more ethical, transparent, and effective psychedelic-assisted therapy worldwide.
