Finding. Argues that the evidence cited for arts-based interventions is weaker than claimed: many studies do not define the artistic component, randomise allocation, control for concurrent interventions or report analyses appropriately.
Limitation. Addresses arts-based interventions broadly, most of them participatory, rather than installed art. Contested: see PAH-066.
