Importance: Interest in administering psychedelic agents as mental health treatment is growing rapidly. As drugmakers invest in developing psychedelic medicines for several psychiatric indications, lawmakers are enacting legal reforms to speed access globally, and health agencies are preparing to approve these treatments. Meanwhile, US states, such as Oregon and Colorado, are making psychedelics available for supervised use outside the conventional health care system.

Observations: Despite legal change and potentially imminent regulatory approval in some countries, standards for integrating psychedelics into health care have lagged, including norms for designing and implementing informed consent processes. Informed consent is complicated by the unique features of psychedelics and their means of administration. Because no governments have approved any classic psychedelics for general medical or psychiatric use, only clinical researchers have obtained informed consent from trial participants. Accordingly, there is an unmet need for informed consent processes tailored to the challenges of administering psychedelics in nonresearch settings.

Conclusions and relevance: Analysis of the challenges of designing and implementing psychedelic informed consent practices revealed 7 essential components, including the possibility of short- and long-term perceptual disturbances, potential personality changes and altered metaphysical beliefs, the limited role of reassuring physical touch, the potential for patient abuse or coercion, the role and risks of data collection, relevant practitioner disclosures, and interactive patient education and comprehension assessment. Because publicly available informed consent documents for psychedelic clinical trials often overlook or underemphasize these essential elements, sample language and procedures to fill the gap are proposed.

Consent is a process not a form. Gaining consent from your patient means more than just going through a checklist of risks. It involves reaching a mutual understanding of what is planned, and a shared decision about the treatment. Our data indicates that complaints and claims involving consent are generally less about whether the consent process occurred and more about the quality of the consent discussion.

As with many things in health care, expectations about the consent process have evolved. Patient-centred care involves engaging patients in a shared decision-making process about their treatment options. Consent does not mean imposing a decision on your patient for them to agree to, nor is it inundating the patient with information and leaving them to decipher the best course of treatment.

Informing patients means giving them context to understand the potential outcomes (positive, negative or neutral) and what that might mean for them. They give consent to the procedure or treatment on that basis.

Patients must give their consent freely. Patients can be more vulnerable to being unduly influenced by people, including family members or the treating team. It is your role to provide information in an unbiased way to help empower the patient to make a voluntary decision.

You must provide your patient with enough information about their condition and the treatment options for them to make an informed decision. Consider using and providing diagrams and decision aids, as research indicates that these make patients feel better informed and clearer about their final choice.

A patient must consent to a specific treatment or a procedure. This can become complicated if the treatment plan extends over a long period of time. However, you should ensure that the patient understands each step before it starts.

The information you provide to each patient should be tailored to their specific needs, particularly when discussing the risks of treatment options. However, the following issues should generally be discussed with all patients:

Your obligation includes disclosing the general risks of the treatment options. These risks will include, for example, the known complications of a procedure, common side effects and revision rates. While it is important to know and disclose these risks, it only goes part way to fulfilling your legal obligation.

To ensure your patient has enough information to provide consent, you must discuss risks that are material to them personally. This forms part of your duty of care. Failure to discuss material risks may result in a legal claim or complaint being made against you, even if the treatment or procedure itself was not negligent. Material risks change for every patient. Some risks that you or other patients may consider to be minor may make a world of difference to a specific patient if they materialise. So, it is important to understand what matters to your patient.

You and your patient should also discuss what would happen if any of these risks were to materialise. This will help your patient to consider and plan for the unfortunate event of one of those risks actually occurring. It can help them manage and coordinate their family, work and other lifestyle commitments.

Have a clear understanding of what the patient is expecting from the treatment or the procedure. This can help inform your conversations about treatments and manage their expectations. Not achieving what the patient expected can lead to a complaint or claim.

Although consent is about more than a form, it is essential to document the consent discussion. You need to make contemporaneous notes documenting your discussion with the patient whether or not your hospital or practice requires a specific form to be used.

Consent remains valid until it is withdrawn by the patient or until their circumstances change in a material way. However, if a significant time has passed since the original consent was obtained, you may need to update and document your discussion with the patient. If you work in a hospital you should check if it has a policy on the length of time a signed consent is considered valid.

I helped DinoProductions fix the problem on the server. For anyone else who has this problem, make sure you turn off spawn-protection in the server.properties file and use WorldGuard for spawn protection.
