Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Telehealth music therapy (TMT) grew exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to be integrated in music therapy praxis. This interview study, which is a follow-up to a large international study of 572 music therapists, reports the perceptions and experiences of 20 music therapists from 10 countries across 5 global regions. Five themes arose from the qualitative analysis, including (1) accessibility of TMT, (2) suitability of TMT, (3) safety within TMT, (4) technology within TMT, and (5) advancing the practice of TMT. Several recommendations are provided for music therapy clinicians, educators and researchers to consider for the future of TMT including the inclusion of TMT theoretical and experiential training for preprofessionals, client perceptions, experiences and desires for TMT, and the role of caregivers in TMT provision.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
