The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $421,067 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to study the relationship between different types of green spaces and the development of anxiety, depression, and ADHD in rural, low-income communities. The 2-year project will leverage 18 years of observational data from the Family Life Project to derive new geospatial measures of green space around children's residences and integrate this with extensive child, family, and home data. The goal is to identify the types and timing of green space exposures that can offset mental health risks in these communities, to inform national policies and interventions that promote the mental health benefits of nature. Findings could direct future research on the mechanisms by which nature exposure reduces mental health risk.
