“…Acknowledging that previous research mainly focused on the negative consequences of music on PAS use, little remains known about its influence on the well‐being of individuals with a problematic PAS use. Nevertheless, 16 articles reported some form of beneficial impacts of music on their well‐being [35,54–56,67,88,91–93,96,97,100,103,105,112,113]. They show that though a majority of young adults listen to music for emotionally oriented well‐being motives, young adults from the general population as well as those who use PAS might benefit differently from the impact of music [88,96].…”

“…While the previously discussed influences of music apply to young individuals with a problematic PAS use at large, the involvement in music has specific implications for those who experience homelessness. Among the reviewed articles, 11 integrated homeless young adults [35,53,67,95,97,100,102,103,105,112,113]. It is important to highlight that while research led among individuals with a problematic PAS use tend to report merely harmful consequences of music, research led among homeless young adults show strongly optimistic results.…”

“…It is important to highlight that while research led among individuals with a problematic PAS use tend to report merely harmful consequences of music, research led among homeless young adults show strongly optimistic results. Indeed, the latter reveal the major importance of music in their lives as well as its beneficial impact on several dimensions of their global well‐being [35,53,67,95,97,100,103,105,112,113]. While the benefits reported in the larger population of PAS users also apply in those who experience homelessness, additional benefits are observed.…”

IssuesMusic is among the most frequently used medium to promote young adults' well‐being. To that aim, the efficiency of music is explained by its capacity to modulate emotions through its effect on the brain's reward pathways. Hence, music could help individuals suffering from dysregulations in these pathways, whose experience of positive emotions is often inhibited. Such dysregulations are particularly present in individuals with problematic psychoactive substance (PAS) use, who are overrepresented in the context of homelessness. While few of them initiate treatment, they successfully rely on their own resources to promote their well‐being, including music, though its impact in this context remains under‐studied.ApproachThis scoping review describes the impact of music on the well‐being, PAS use and addictive trajectory of young housed and homeless individuals with problematic PAS use. Eleven French and English databases were screened for peer‐reviewed articles using concepts and keywords related to music, PAS and well‐being. From the 3697 results, 39 were reviewed. Results were organised according to the observed impact of music and analysed critically.Key FindingsLiterature shows that PAS users value the impact of music in meeting emotional, psychological and social needs, especially when they experience homelessness. Yet, research has been highly limited to the harmful consequences of music, limiting our knowledge of its potential benefits.Implications and ConclusionTo deepen our understanding about the impact of music, future research should endorse a broader perspective and consider the personal and contextual experiences accompanying the involvement in music, factors that were traditionally overlooked.

“…For example, (5) found that 16% of people who use psychoactive substances reported income from formal employment, even while living in situations of social precarity and maintaining their drug use. However, despite the clear interest in working among people in situations of social precarity (23)(24)(25)(26), various factors like stigmatization, prejudice and administrative di culties can throw up barriers to job opportunities and/or hinder their ability to retain those jobs they do nd (25,(27)(28)(29)(30)(31).…”

Background. Young adults in situations of social precarity are more exposed to the risks associated with both unemployment and psychoactive substance use. Low-threshold work is a promising alternative for this cohort, yet it has been little studied to date. This qualitative study describes the significance of both work in general and low-threshold work for these individuals. Methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 young adults who had participated in a low-threshold work program. The interviews were transcribed and subsequently analyzed thematically, filtered through a life course theory perspective. Results. Participants defined “work” as remunerated activity carried out within a formalized framework. The meanings they ascribed to work were somewhat negative, marked by prior experiences of abuse and exploitation. Precarious living conditions were also difficult to reconcile with the routines of full-time employment. However, a different set of meanings was ascribed to low-threshold work. Beyond representing temporary economic relief, it was experienced positively on a number of fronts and categorized by participants as distinctive from what they called “real work.” Conclusion. Low-threshold work as a harm reduction-based intervention strategy presents a number of potential benefits that include the chance to form lasting relationships, gain exposure to enjoyable work, and be supported in a process of change liable to promote the achievement of certain goals. A broadened definition of work that extends beyond the notion of productivity, as is programs like TAPAJ, could thus provide young people in situations of social precarity with more rewarding income-generating opportunities in addition to fostering feelings of achievement.
