A scoping review and categorization of music and health psychometric inventories
Healthcare is often dependent on evidence derived from quantitative measurement. Music-based psychometric inventories are thus necessary to quantify health-related constructs. Despite an increase in the number of inventories, there is no systematic overview of the existing inventories, which may hinder dialogue across music disciplines (e.g., music psychology, music therapy). Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review was to identify and categ…
A Cluster-Randomized Comparison of Songwriting and Recreational Music Therapy on State Hope and Abstinence Self-Efficacy in Adults with Alcohol Use Disorder on a Detoxification Unit
BACKGROUND: Recovery constitutes the goal for people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). State hope and abstinence self-efficacy represent consequential constructs for people with AUD as they work toward recovery. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this two-group cluster-randomized single-session effectiveness study was to compare the effects of group motivational-educational songwriting (MESW) and group recreational music therapy (RMT) by measuring between-…

Informed by the recovery movement and evidence-based practice, the purpose of this study was to understand the preferences and recommendations for future MT p…
Blues-based stigma songwriting with adults on an acute mental health inpatient unit
Self-stigma often functions as a treatment barrier for adults with mental health conditions and can hinder recovery. Blues-based stigma songwriting may constitute an empowering and engaging medium to educate people with mental health conditions about self-stigma, identify it as an oppressive social construct, and encourage treatments to augment the likelihood of recovery. The purpose of this cluster-randomized effectiveness study was to determine…
Development and implementation of self-care strategies in undergraduate music therapy students
Introduction Music therapy students may encounter a variety of stressors throughout their undergraduate careers and require self-care strategies to maintain their health and wellbeing. To date, there is a dearth of literature regarding self-care strategies for undergraduate music therapy students. Understanding the development and implementation of self-care strategies in undergraduate music therapy students may enable students, their peers, prof…
A Cluster-Randomized Comparison of Music Therapy Interventions as Measured by Craving and Commitment in Adults on a Detoxification Unit
Background: Music therapy can positively impact craving, treatment readiness, and motivation in adults with substance use disorder (SUD) on a detoxification unit. However, the existing research is primarily comprised of studies with a single pre- or posttest and there is a need for randomized controlled studies that compare within-session changes resultant of various music therapy interventions to determine best practice. Objective: The purpose o…
Comparing the comprehension of short stories paired with familiar and unfamiliar melodies and spoken text in autistic children
Autistic children (AC) can demonstrate varying abilities of comprehending spoken and written information. Although information is often paired with music to facilitate recall and learning, there is limited research investigating if sung short stories influence the listening and reading comprehension (LRC) of AC. The purpose of this study was to compare the LRC of information paired with (1) familiar melodies, (2) unfamiliar melodies, and (3) spok…
An exploratory interpretivist study of how adults with substance use disorders experience peer social connectedness during recovery-oriented songwriting
Despite evidence linking social connectedness (SC) and substance use disorders (SUD) treatment outcomes, there remains a gap in the literature about how people with SUD experience SC during music therapy. The purpose of this study was to understand how adults with SUD on an inpatient detoxification unit experienced SC during group-based songwriting. Participants were 12 adults with SUD who attended a single-group recovery-oriented songwriting ses…
A systematic review of music-induced substance craving
A Cluster-Randomized Trial Comparing Songwriting and Recreational Music Therapy via Craving and Withdrawal in Adults on a Detoxification Unit
BACKGROUND: Craving and withdrawal can contribute to the development and maintenance of substance use disorder (SUD), relapse, and overdose. Although music therapy can positively impact craving and withdrawal in adults with SUD on a detoxification unit, there is a lack of randomized research comparing different music therapy interventions as well as studies measuring within-session changes in these critical constructs. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of t…
Analysis of between-diagnoses differences in music-based affect regulatory strategies in adults with mental health and substance use conditions
According to the Stress Vulnerability Model, affect regulation is crucial to manage stressors and promote recovery for adults with mental health conditions. Education regarding music-based affect regulation can be delivered in group formats using a transdiagnostic approach to increase access to services and vicarious learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if there were between-diagnosis and between-substance differences i…
Music-based discharge, healthy music use, and unhealthy music use explain adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies in adults hospitalized with cancer

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether music-based affect regulation and healthy and unhealthy music use explain coping strategies in adults hosp…
A randomized pilot study of patient-preferred live music addressing fatigue, energy, and pain in adults on a medical oncology/hematology unit
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is the most persistent and commonly occurring side effect of cancer and its treatments. CRF can negatively impact recovery and there is a lack of music intervention research addressing CRF. The purpose of this randomized study was to determine the effects of a single patient-preferred live music (PPLM) session on fatigue, energy, and pain in adults on a medical oncology/hematology unit. Participants ( N = 36) were ran…
Perceived mechanisms targeting cancer-related fatigue, song choice rationale, and song function
Although patient-preferred live music (PPLM) can be an effective music therapy intervention for addressing cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in adult oncology patients, there is a gap in the literature specific to patients’ experiences of how PPLM impacts CRF. The primary purpose of this interpretivist study was to understand the mechanisms by which PPLM impacts CRF from the patients’ perspectives. The secondary purpose was to gain insight into patien…
Effects of Visual and Aural Presentation Styles and Rhythm on Working Memory as Measured by Monosyllabic Sequential Digit Recall
Although information is frequently paired with music to enhance recall, there is a lack of basic research investigating how aspects of recorded music, as well as how it is presented, facilitate working memory. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of visual and aural presentation styles, rhythm, and participant major on working memory as measured by sequential monosyllabic digit recall performance. We isolated visual a…
