SOUND AND MUSIC IN INTERACTIVE SONIFICATION : A NOVEL WAY TO COMMUNICATE THE HEALTH RISKS OF ALCOHOL TO YOUNG PEOPLE

• Sonification designs have been increasingly used to complement data presentation and exploration in various disciplines. In medical research they have been applied as an aid for analysis and diagnosis, disease treatment, to assist visually impaired patients, and in physiotherapy. Interactive sonification as a communication channel has the potential to be used to describe health risk data to a range of audiences. The novelty of this approach, its interactive nature and ability to be combined with music may provide an effective alternative to the more dominant visual strategies (i.e. graphs, pie charts etc.), particularly when communicating with young people. In this project Using Sonification to COmmunicate public health Risk data (SCORe) we plan to test the role of sound, music and interactive sonification to communicate vital health risk information associated with alcohol consumption to young people.
