The impact of a community‐based music intervention on the health and well‐being of young people: A realist evaluation

“…A community-based organisation, which focuses on a small number of people, can give specific consideration and flexibility to its beneficiaries (Baker, Bull, & Taylor, 2018). The polyhedral approach of the music practitioners encouraged a path of self-identification, which confirms the importance of music practitioners in establishing a trustworthy relationship with the consequent reinforcement of the engagement in the intervention (Harkins et al, 2016;Parker et al, 2018 , 2016), which identify the space of protection as the main mechanism to well-being and engagement of young people.…”

“…Some studies have explored the effectiveness of music interventions in supporting adolescents with psychopathologies (Albornoz, 2011;Gold, Saarikallio, Crooke, & McFerran, 2017;Gold, Voracek, & Wigram, 2004;Gold, Wigram, & Voracek, 2007), whereas others have analysed how these interventions can improve social connectedness and self-esteem among adolescents with mental health problems and behavioural problems (Hense & McFerran, 2017;McFerran et al, 2016;Porter et al, 2017). Researchers | 989 CALÓ et AL. have also considered the role of community-based initiatives promoting arts and music in addressing problems of disadvantaged young people (Harkins, Garnham, Campbell, & Tannahill, 2016;Parker, Marturano, O'Connor, & Meek, 2018), in youth custodial (Daykin, Viggiani, Moriarty, & Pilkington, 2017) and in community settings (Davies et al, 2013).…”

Community-based intervention and marginalised youth: inclusion, social mobility and life-course transition

“…With their universal appeal, sport and the performing arts offer a firm platform for work aimed to enhance social capital due to their potential to bring people together and promote community cohesion. Indeed, projects that have utilised sports and the arts to engage young people have reported increased cohesion among participants even where this was not an explicit aim (Lonie 2011;Kelly 2017;Parker et al 2018). However, understanding the processes involved in using sport and the arts as a mechanism for social inclusion remains under-researched (Coalter 2017) and requires empirical evidence to expose how such programmes deliver on their acclaimed potential to foster social inclusion (Haudenhuyse 2017), a feature to which the current study seeks to attend.…”

Health, Arts and Justice

“…Studies show the value of arts in prevention and health promotion with outcomes demonstrating increased self-confidence and self-esteem. Examples include music (Parker et al 2018), dance and visual arts (Stickley et al 2015). Matarasso (1997) works with a definition of health and participatory arts that encompasses a range of individual benefits but also considers political dimensions for individuals within a community context.…”
