Abstract/Description
This literature review developed by RAND reviews a fragmented research base to explore how arts engagement promotes the well-being of youth. Through analysis of existing research literature and insights from leaders in the field, the report establishes definitions of youth well-being. It also examines the specific ways that participating in arts activities might promote a young person’s well-being and how one might go about measuring this type of arts engagement.
