Greenspace And Adolescent Mental Health: Understanding Greenspace Metrics And Socio-Demographic Effect Modifiers

Poor mental health outcomes among young people, including anxiety, self-harm, and suicide, have increased substantially in recent years. Given this concerning rise, more research into low-cost mental health interventions is needed. Research suggests that greenspace may be protective of mental health. This study aims to further understanding of the greenspace-mental health association among young people in five urbanities (i.e., urban, suburban, micropolitan, small towns, rural/isolated).
