简要总结
This study aims to explore the feasibility of implementing and evaluating a class-based intervention in three Danish primary schools. The intervention includes class choir among all students in 0 to 3rd grade as part of the regular school schedule.
详细描述
Approximately every fifth child in Denmark experience mental health problems, mental illness, or low levels of school thriving before the age of ten, and 15% of Danish adolescent are diagnosed with a mental disorder before they turn 18. The experience of mental health problems, low school thriving and mental illness in childhood and adolescence is a severe risk factor for school segregation, low grades, school dropout and mental illness in youth and adulthood. There is therefore an urgent need for feasible and effective mental health promoting and preventive interventions from early childhood. High-quality music singing (e.g. choir singing) can promote well-being, social inclusion in school, and positive social relations among school-children, which are key prerequisites for strengthening children's mental health. However, the potential benefits of this type of intervention have not been evaluated in a Danish context. Therefore, we developed the Alle kan synge (AKS; in English: Everyone can sing) intervention as a prototype for implementation and dissemination.
The aim of this feasibility study is to explore the feasibility of implementing the AKS intervention in three Danish primary schools and assess feasibility of the evaluation design. Findings will provide knowledge on the critical aspects of the intervention, which may lead to a possible refinement of the AKS intervention, the implementation processes or evaluation design.

时间窗: Measurements at baseline and 1-year follow-up
Measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). SDQ consists of 25-items rated on a 3-point Likert scale (not true, somewhat true, and certainly true), with a positive and negatively phrased items. 'Somewhat True' is always scored as 1, but the scoring of 'Not True' and 'Certainly True' varies with the item. The SDQ can be divided between five sub-scales (five questions each): Emotional Symptoms, Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity-Inattention, Peer Problems, Pro-Social Behaviour. Total Difficulties Score is adding scores from all scales except the prosocial scale (score range 0-40). Higher scores represent more problems. This is supplemented with a brief impact supplement, where items on distress and impairment can be added up to generate an impact score that ranges from 0 to 10 for parent-report, and from 0 to 6 for teacher-report.
