Introduction
Developing a strategy to scale up place-based arts initiatives that support mental health and wellbeing: A realist evaluation of ‘Arts for the Blues’. Conclusions: "Our study allowed us not only to identify helpful mechanisms of how to scale up specific projects but also to formulate a unique scaling up strategy for place-based arts initiatives that support mental health and wellbeing. As a result, we are able to propose actionable recommendations for the wider healthcare system and the cultural sector, focusing on opportunities that can overcome implementation barriers."
