Arts on Prescription (AoP) is a complementary intervention used to support people who are on sick leave due to stress, anxiety and depression and/or musculoskeletal pain.
Patients are identified and referred to AoP by professionals in primary health care and outpatient psychiatric care. AoR is performed beyond healthcare and coordinated by a person from the municipality. AoR was defined as participating in arts activities in closed groups, for 2.5 hours twice a week for ten weeks including i.e. song, crafts, drama and concert.
