This research involved 26 women who had successfully completed a Good Vibrations project, finding that:
- for women in prison, taking part in a Good Vibrations project can reduce anger, worry, and levels of unhappiness, and improve social skills
- reductions in anger, worry, and unhappiness may be sustained in the weeks after the project, but not in the long-term
- the involvement of prison staff, and the performance in front of an audience, appear to be important factors in any lasting impact
- completing the project positively changed the way some of the most ‘difficult’ women were viewed by prison staff
