利用音乐、信仰、情绪、态度和思想发现关系（DRUMBEAT）计划使用击鼓作为一种以音乐表达形式吸引风险青年的方式，同时结合与他人健康关系有关的主题和讨论。该方案针对的是与学校系统疏远的年轻人。对西澳大利亚州小麦带地区的60名方案参与者进行了评估。评价采用了定量和定性方法，包括与工作人员和参与者的非正式讨论、观察、参与者和教师问卷调查以及学校出勤率和行为事件记录。干预前和干预后的数据收集自尊，上学，反社会行为，合作和协作的水平。参加DRUMBEAT的学生在一系列社会指标上提高了他们的分数，这些指标有助于增加与学校社区的联系。研究结果支持了基本的程序理论，即将音乐表达的治疗潜力与基本的认知行为疗法相结合，可以成功地用于提供一系列社会学习成果，包括情绪控制，改善关系和增强自尊。需要进行进一步的纵向研究，以评估衡量结果的可持续性及其受外部因素影响的脆弱性。
The Discovering Relationship Using Music, Beliefs, Emotions, Attitudes & Thoughts (DRUMBEAT) program used drumming as a way of engaging at risk youth in a form of musical expression, while simultaneously incorporating themes and discussions relating to healthy relationships with others. The program targeted young people who are alienated from the school system. An evaluation was undertaken with a sample of 60 program participants in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region. The evaluation used both quantitative and qualitative methods, including informal discussions with staff and participants, observation, participant and teacher questionnaires, and school attendance and behavioural incident records. Pre- and postintervention data were collected on self-esteem, school attendance, antisocial behaviour, and levels of cooperation and collaboration. Students participating in DRUMBEAT increased their scores over a range of social indicators that act to increase connection with the school community. The results support the underlying program theory, that combining the therapeutic potential of musical expression with basic cognitive-behavioural therapy can be used successfully to deliver a range of social learning outcomes, including emotional control, improved relationships and increased self-esteem. Further longitudinal studies are required to assess the sustainability of the measured outcomes and their vulnerability to external factors.
