Cumulative sociodemographic risk moderates the short-term effects of active music engagement
Although music therapy programs prioritize referrals based on family need, few studies offer evidence to guide these decisions. Our results suggest that AME should be reserved for families facing higher levels of risk, which may help to ensure that high-demand services are delivered to families who need them most in accordance with the Pediatric Psychosocial Preventative Health Model.
