Description

Carlos Gómez-Restrepo and eight co-authors test music workshops for teens with depression and anxiety in Bogotá, in this twenty twenty-four study. Teen mental distress is common, yet few community activities have been studied as routes to recovery. Music groups are cheap and social, which makes them worth a look.

Thirty-four teens aged fifteen and sixteen, drawn from a larger teen cohort, joined five weekly sessions of music learning and practice. They rated their anxiety and depression before and after, and shared their experiences in writing. Attendance and feedback were tracked as well. This early trial, run without a control group, maps promise and problems for a fuller test.
