This study investigated the mood states of adolescents who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The specific purpose was twofold. First, to examine whether there were differences in the mood states of adolescents who have Duchenne Muscular and able-bodied adolescents. And second, to explore and evaluate whether participation in a theatrical performance program had a positive effect on the mood states of the adolescents who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. / The statistical findings indicated that there were significant initial and concluding differences in the mood states of the adolescents who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and their able-bodied cohorts. Analysis of the theatrical performance program indicated a short-term pre-post treatment improvement in the mood states of the adolescents who have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This short-term improvement, however, did not sustain itself over time. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
