| Abstract | Adolescent mental health problems are becoming increasingly prevalent and concerning. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a school-based music intervention program in improving the mental health of middle school students. From September 2023 to January 2024, a class-based stratified randomized controlled trial was conducted at a rural middle school in Nanping City, Fujian Province, China. Seventh- and tenth-grade students were recruited and randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group participated in a 17-week structured music program, while the control group continued with regular school activities without additional intervention. Mental health status was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale for Youth (DASS-Y). A total of 414 students (mean age: 14.57 ± 1.53 years) were included. Baseline sociodemographic characteristics were similar between groups, although students in the control group were slightly more likely to report enjoying school (p = 0.029). Post-intervention, the intervention group showed significant reductions in the detection rates of depression (13.14% to 1.71%), anxiety (14.29% to 5.14%), stress (5.17% to 0.00%), and overall mental health problems (18.29% to 5.71%) (all p < 0.001), while no significant changes were observed in the control group (all p > 0.05). Between-group comparisons at post-intervention further revealed significantly lower rates of depression (1.71% vs. 7.53%), anxiety (5.14% vs. 12.13%), stress (0.00% vs. 4.06%), and overall mental health problems (5.71% vs. 14.64%) in the intervention group. These findings suggest that school-based music intervention programs may be an effective and scalable approach to promoting adolescent mental health. Further research is needed to explore their long-term impact and broader applicability. (As Provided). |
