Assessment of Music Experiences in Navigating Depression
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Depression
In brief
The study team sought to scientifically investigate strategic subsets of depressed individuals or people prone to or at-risk of depression through music experiences of individual, group, and blended supported contexts. Meetings with the study multi-disciplinary team, included member of the Carnegie Hall Weill Music Institute and University affiliates, where the study team gathered quantitative and qualitative data in individual and group forums, measuring disease process and levels of participation. Through tabulation of participatory options with standardized depression and resilience measurements, the study team studied how live music could alter depressive symptoms over time and/ or change negative influencers of mood, shift quality of life, and lead toward possibly enhanced disease trajectory outcomes.
