Mental and substance use disorders have been identified as the leading cause of global disability, burden mental illness is concentrated among those experiencing disability due to serious (SMI). Music has studied a support for SMIs decades, with promising results; however, lack synthesized evidence precluded increased uptake access music-based approaches. The purpose this scoping review was identify types quantity research at intersections music SMIs, document evidentiary gaps opportunities, generate recommendations improving practice. Studies were included if they reported on music's utilization in treating or mitigating symptoms related five SMIs: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety major depressive post-traumatic stress disorder. Eight databases searched; screening resulted 349 studies data extraction. Schizophrenia most SMI, disorder least. Demographics, settings, activity details found be inconsistently insufficiently reported; listening recorded emerged common musical activity, appeared affected by conditions under study. RCTs predominant study design, 271 unique measures utilized across 289 primary studies. Over two-thirds (68.5%) positive results, 2.8% reporting worse results than comparator, 12% producing indeterminate results. A key finding that synthesis insufficient reporting, widely varied outcomes measures, intervention complexity; result, widespread changes are necessary reduce heterogeneity (as feasible), increase replicability transferability, improve understandings mechanisms causal pathways.
