Objectives: Guided by the hypothesis that the arts can play a role in changing attitudes, beliefs, and health behaviors, the objectives of the study were to (1) overview artistic practices, interventions, and research being conducted at the intersection of the arts and health communication and (2) identify desired and observed outcomes and variables measured in these studies. Data Source: The search strategy was developed iteratively with 2 health science librarians and conducted using 8 databases (Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, Art and Architecture Source, CINAHL, Communication and Mass Media Complete, ERIC, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science) and hand searching. Articles included were published between 2014 and 2018. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Inclusion criteria include US nonclinical setting and use of the arts (broadly defined) to change health knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, or awareness. Any articles not meeting inclusion criteria were excluded. Data Extraction: Covidence’s data extraction tool exported to MS Excel. Data Synthesis: This final set of results was analyzed and synthesized by research design, population, sample size, health issue, purpose, variables measured, and findings. Results: In all, 78 articles met inclusion criteria. Number of participants ranged from 4 to 2140 (mean = 179); 61 (78.2%) outcome studies, including 8 experimental studies; 17 (21.79%) formative research or reports. Many different health topics were addressed and different art forms used. Conclusion: The arts can help build knowledge and awareness of health issues. The authors highlight the need to build an evidence base for arts and public health.

“…The SSB program actively involved both peer leaders and stakeholders throughout program development, implementation, and evaluation. Similarly, Stokar et al (2017) used a PAR model where adolescents co-created, co-instructed, and co-evaluated the Love Your Love Life (LYLL) psychoeducational program delivered during an afterschool and summer program for disadvantaged African American adolescents. In a cultural adaptation of the Safe Dates curriculum (Ravi, Black, et al, 2019; Ravi et al, 2018; Ravi, Mitschke, et al, 2019), researchers worked with peer leaders from the Karen Refugee community.…”

“…Studies involving other stakeholders such as health service professionals, practitioners, teachers, and community representatives typically did so at the start of program development to determine acceptability and feasibility of the project (Banyard et al, 2007). Studies utilising CBPR and related participatory models, engaged users and stakeholders throughout multiple stages of program development, implementation, and evaluation (Beatriz et al, 2018; Crooks et al, 2018; Fredland, 2010; Jozkowski & Ekbia, 2015; Murray, 2019; Potter et al, 2020; Potter et al, 2019; Ravi, Black, et al, 2019; Ravi, Mitschke, et al, 2019; Reddock et al, 2020; Reid et al, 2014; Richmond et al, 2008; Stokar et al, 2017). One study reported a case study of community-based action against child sexual abuse in Israel (Itzhaky & York, 2001).…”

“…Review findings suggest that the inclusion of youth in the development and delivery of SVA prevention programs is likely to enhance relevance and acceptance by ensuring young people are not simply being talked about but are invited to provide their input and design with program planners (Beatriz et al, 2018; Fredland, 2010; Fredland et al, 2005; Johnson et al, 2019; Jozkowski & Ekbia, 2015; Murray, 2019; Potter et al, 2020; Potter et al, 2019; Ravi, Black, et al, 2019; Ravi et al, 2018; Ravi, Mitschke, et al, 2019; Richmond et al, 2008; Stokar et al, 2017). Moreover, participation can be beneficial to young participants, with previous research showing increases in professional skills training, sense of engagement, leadership skills, and ability to voice concerns more effectively (Lau et al, 2003; London et al, 2003).…”

“…This is only possible through application of PD methods that promote high levels of agency, encourage input, and facilitate empowerment by actively involving youth in the design process. Best practice examples identified in this review include Beatriz et al’s (2018) and Stokar et al’s (2017) Y/PAR model that utilised peer-led education and youth empowerment strategies to engage adolescents in all aspects of program development, implementation, and evaluation. These studies engaged both users and stakeholders as partners in the design process and in so doing empowered participants by affirming their strengths and enriching their skills.…”

Trauma, Violence, & Abuse

Youth sexual violence and abuse (SVA) are leading public health and human rights issues around the world. Prevention is key to reducing SVA rates and minimising resultant harms. Despite advocacy for more collaborative approaches, knowledge of how to effectively engage young people and key stakeholders in the design, implementation, and evaluation of SVA prevention programs is limited. This mixed-methods systematic review aimed to synthesise available evidence on participatory design (PD) application in primary and secondary SVA prevention targeting young people. A systematic search was executed across seven electronic databases. Eligible studies were peer-reviewed, published in English, reported primary or secondary SVA prevention, described application of PD or a related approach, and targeted young people aged 12–25 years. Quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Overall, 20 articles reporting 15 studies were included. Most (55%; n = 11) employed a qualitative design. Descriptions, methods, and scope of PD application varied across included studies. A lack of empirical evaluations prevented conclusions regarding the utility of PD application in terms of measured outcomes. The methodology, agent of change, training, and engagement (MATE) taxonomy was subsequently developed to describe and classify PD application. As illustrated in the MATE taxonomy, PD methods promoting agency, encouraging input, and facilitating empowerment are likely to facilitate more meaningful engagement of participants. Integration of participant and expert views, community consultation, and appropriate socio-cultural adaption appear to be critical determinants of program acceptability and feasibility. Empirical evaluations are needed to assess the relative utility of PD methods in line with SVA prevention objectives.
