This poster presents the study protocol of a doctoral research project on Arts on Prescription in higher education at the University of Porto. Through a mixed-methods multi-informant approach, this project will examine the implementation and delivery of an Arts-on-Referral intervention designed to support students’ mental health, wellbeing, and social connectedness. The study aims to identify factors shaping implementation, delivery, and adherence, and to inform future intervention models and policies integrating arts and culture into health promotion and prevention strategies.
