  • Greenspace quality and proximity are stronger predictors of mental health than quantity or access

    Open AccessRebecca M Collins, Kerry A Brown et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2026

    Compared models of poor mental health with distinct urban greenspace characteristics. • Proxies for greenspace quality and proximity emerged as the strongest predictors. • Greenspace quantity and access were weaker in explaining variation in mental health. • Findings highlight the need to prioritise urban greenspace quality and proximity. As evidence grows for the mental health benefits of urban greenspaces, understanding which specific character…

  • Why Is the Study of Food Environments Still Relevant

    Open AccessClaire Thompson, D SmithARTICLEUrban Planning2025

    Food environments are the point of intersection where people engage with the food system. As such, they are a key consideration for food policy and governance in countries across the world. This collection of articles draws upon research conducted in a range of countries and predominantly, but not exclusively, urban settings. Research presented here expands on the way food environments have traditionally been explored in academic studies since th…

  • Aligning strategic and participatory approaches to agri‐environment scheme design and implementation to enhance nature recovery outcomes

    Open AccessDavid J Baker, Caroline Nye et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Nature recovery requires the provisioning of resources in the right place and in sufficient quantities to support wildlife populations and improve ecological processes. Agri‐environment schemes (AES) have been a major mechanism for delivering environmental management across EU‐farmed landscapes, but measured benefits to nature are often negligible in large part due to a lack of strategic spatial targeting of management actions. As an example, AES…

  • The interplay between social and food environments on UK adolescents’ food choices

    Open AccessSarah Shaw, Sarah Muir et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Factors from social and food environments can influence the food choices of adolescents in ways not experienced during childhood. Evidence suggests these two environments influence adolescents’ food choices independently, but there is limited knowledge of how the interplay between these environments influence adolescents’ diets. An enhanced understanding of this interplay surrounding adolescent food choice could aid the development of more nuance…

  • The relative effects of access to public greenspace and private gardens on mental health

    Open AccessRebecca M Collins, D Smith et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2023

    Although the beneficial effects of urban greenspace on mental health are widely accepted, the comparative effects of public greenspace and private (domestic) gardens on mental health are poorly understood. Here, an assessment is provided of the effect of local public greenspace on a person’s mental health for those with and without a private garden in Britain. Individual level data on private garden ownership and mental health status are obtained…

  • Mixed methods feasibility and usability testing of a childhood obesity risk estimation tool

    Open AccessGrace Grove, Nida Ziauddeen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    SLOPE CORE could potentially be useful in clinical practice. It may support targeting limited resources towards families most at risk of childhood obesity. Further research is needed to explore how the tool might be efficiently incorporated into practice, and to evaluate the impact of the tool, and any subsequent interventions, on preventing childhood obesity

  • He reo tuku iho, he reo ora

    Open AccessTe Reo Irirangi, Te Hiku et al.ARTICLEMAI Journal A New Zealand Journal…2022

    In the modern age of technology in Aotearoa, mana Māori motuhake, kaitiakitanga and data sover- eignty are all interconnected. Each provides distinct insight into how Māori people and organisations (as well as other Indigenous peoples) can ensure the protection of knowledge and data. This article discusses these concepts before illustrating what they look like on a practical level by exploring the narrative of Te Reo Irirangi o Te Hiku o Te Ika (…

  • A systematic map of research exploring the effect of greenspace on mental health

    Open AccessRebecca M Collins, Rebecca Spake et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2020

    The past 35 years has seen an accumulation of empirical evidence suggesting a positive association between greenspace and mental health. Existing reviews of evidence are narrow in scope, and do not adequately represent the broad range of disciplines working in this field. This study is the first systematic map of studies investigating greenspace effects on mental health. A total of 6059 papers were screened for their relevance, 276 of which met i…

  • Complexity’ as a rhetorical smokescreen for UK public health inaction on diet

    Open AccessNatalie Savona, Claire Thompson et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2020

    ‘Complexity’ is theorised as a characteristic of modern food systems that poses a challenge to improving population diets. This paper seeks to explore the discursive deployment of ‘complexity’ in the context of public health. Doing so helps inform a more critical assessment of commercial and political determinants of health, and of ‘complexity’ as a prevailing frame for public health issues. Qualitative methods were used to explore ‘responsibilit…

  • "The Curse of the Caribbean"? Agency's Impact on the Productivity of Sugar Estates on St. Vincent and the Grenadines, 1814-1829

    Open AccessD Smith, Stephanie D Smith et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History2018Cited by: 1References: 19

    This study estimates agency's impact on sugar plantation productivity using a unique early nineteenth-century panel data set from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Results of fixed effects models, combined with a qualitative and quantitative analysis of potential endogeneity of the agency variable, provide no evidence that estates managed by agents were less productive than those managed by their owners. We discuss the results in the context of the…

  • Sex equality can explain the unique social structure of hunter-gatherer bands

    Open AccessM Dyble, G D Salali et al.ARTICLEScience2015

    Friends and family? Evolutionary theory stresses the importance of living with kin, not least because they share some of our genes. Nevertheless, a large-scale assessment of contemporary hunter-gatherer societies has established a consistent pattern of unrelated individuals living together. Dyble et al. used a modeling approach to suggest that a possible answer to this conundrum is that cohabitation choices are being governed equally by men and w…
