Check out this message from CPAM’s Director, J. Todd Frazier:

I invite you to participate in our hospital IRB (Internal Review Board) approved survey (PRO#00023826), helping us add to the growing base of information supporting elements or parameters of music composition that lead to relaxation.

Why is this important?

In times like this, where anxiety and stress is rising to unprecedented levels for the general population and especially for healthcare providers, we want to be able to use music in the most effective way to support each other.

We still have a lot to learn about how best to do this, especially for large groups of people we don’t have the opportunity to get to know personally. This survey, and its published results, will help us, and the field of arts in health, make even better decisions on how to use the beauty and mystery of music to respond to health challenges and improve wellbeing.
