Assessments
Art therapy
While 24% of participants (n=18) used art therapy at A1, only 7 used it throughout
the research. Figures 132-134 show GHQ-30, BDI-II, and PDS mean scores for
participants who used art therapy during the 3-4 months prior to each assessment and
for those who did not use this service. There were statistically significant
improvements with regard to depression between A1 and A3 for those who availed of
art therapy (paired-samples t-test). Four bars at each assessment point represent data
as previously in Figure 77.
