ABSTRACT
This chapter presents key methodological aspects to consider for researchers in the fields of sound design and music computing when evaluating and making strategic choices for conducting research targeting health, accessibility and disability. We present practical suggestions for how to effectively increase the impact in the research community based on existing methods commonly used in evidence-based research. Although many of the described models, frameworks and methods are not novel, they have so far only been extensively applied in music therapy studies and music medicine interventions, but not in sound design research nor music computing. The frameworks presented here are gathered from, primarily, practices concerning systematic reviews. We conclude with a discussion about the current state of the field and provide examples of how proposed frameworks and guidelines can be used when reporting results from quantitative research studies to systematic reviews.
