A mixed methods Delphi study combined questionnaires and interviews with 37 providers and content experts to develop quality and safety indicators for psilocybin therapy. The qualitative component allowed participants to suggest new safety dimensions beyond the initial scope, improve indicator wording, and provide contextual explanations for decisions. This approach shows that qualitative methods can enhance Delphi studies beyond quantitative ratings alone.
