Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will used a mixed-method methodology comprising validated psychological scales, in-depth qualitative interviews and observations and biomarker analysis. If results are promising, there are plans in place to scale the singing intervention to more hospitals and community settings.
Phase B will be open to NHS sites within the region of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital London from which women could travel to the sessions to take part.
