African-American children and adolescents experience an undue burden of disease for many health outcomes compared to their White peers. More research needs to be completed for this priority population to improve their health outcomes and ameliorate health disparities. Integrating hip hop music or hip hop dance into interventions may help engage African-American youth in health interventions and improve their health outcomes. We conducted a review of the literature to characterize hip hop interventions and determine their potential to improve health.
We searched Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, and EMBASE to identify studies that assessed hip hop interventions. To be included, studies had to (1) be focused on a psychosocial or physical health intervention that included hip hop and (2) present quantitative data assessing intervention outcomes. Twenty-three articles were identified as meeting all inclusion criteria and were coded by two reviewers. Articles were assessed with regards to sample characteristics, study design, analysis, intervention components, and results.
Hip hop interventions have been developed to improve health literacy, health behavior, and mental health. The interventions were primarily targeted to African-American and Latino children and adolescents. Many of the health literacy and mental health studies used non-experimental study designs. Among the 12 (of 14) health behavior studies that used experimental designs, the association between hip hop interventions and positive health outcomes was inconsistent.
The number of experimental hip hop intervention studies is limited. Future research is required to determine if hip hop interventions can promote health.
与同龄的白人相比，非裔美国儿童和青少年在许多健康结果方面承受着过多的疾病负担。需要对这一优先人群进行更多的研究，以改善他们的健康结果并减轻健康差距。将嘻哈音乐或嘻哈舞蹈融入干预措施中可能有助于吸引非裔美国青年参与健康干预，并改善他们的健康结果。我们对文献进行了回顾，以描述嘻哈干预措施，并确定其改善健康的潜力。
我们在 Web of Science、Scopus、PsycINFO 和 EMBASE 上进行了检索，以确定评估嘻哈干预措施的研究。要被纳入，研究必须（1）专注于包括嘻哈的心理社会或身体健康干预，（2）提出评估干预结果的定量数据。有 23 篇文章被确定为符合所有纳入标准，并由两位评审员进行了编码。文章评估了样本特征、研究设计、分析、干预组成部分和结果。
已经开发了嘻哈干预措施来提高健康素养、健康行为和心理健康。这些干预措施主要针对非裔美国人和拉丁裔儿童和青少年。许多健康素养和心理健康研究使用了非实验性研究设计。在使用实验设计的 12 项（共 14 项）健康行为研究中，嘻哈干预与积极健康结果之间的关联并不一致。
实验性嘻哈干预研究的数量有限。需要进一步的研究来确定嘻哈干预措施是否可以促进健康。
