First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual, community-based program combining music and mindfulness can help People of African Descent manage stress, anxiety, and depression during COVID-19. Researchers will measure brain activity and feelings of social connection in 48 participants as they listen to music together. The goal is to see if culturally relevant, low-cost programs can support mental health in marginalized groups.
