In a pilot sample of 21 service members and veterans with traumatic brain injury, brief psychoeducation significantly increased positive attitudes and interest in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT), and most participants supported PAT availability in medical settings if proven beneficial. Participants nonetheless expressed health concerns (long-term effects, losing their mind, personality changes) and logistical barriers (time, transport, cost), indicating the need for targeted education, command support and practical facilitation to ensure access if PAT is approved.
