Evaluating the social return on investment of nature-based social prescribing to alleviate loneliness
Introduction: Loneliness is associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, depression, and premature mortality, and is unequally distributed according to social determinants. Prescribing individuals to community-based interventions in nature, often described as nature-based social prescribing (NBSP), has emerged as a promising intervention to address loneliness. This study aims to quantify the social return of investm…
Adapting and applying a group facilitator training model to support nature-based social interventions for alleviating loneliness in five countries
Implementing psychosocial health interventions in new target groups in different cultures requires rigorous training. The ‘Circle of Friends’ (CoF) model has proven to be effective for helping lonely older adults. The aim of this article is to describe in detail how professionals’ training in using the CoF model was modified to create the ‘Friends in Nature (FiN)’ intervention in the EU-funded ‘RECETAS’ project for use in five other countries (Sp…
Reimagining Health Care and Social Connection with Asylum Seekers and Refugees through Contextually Grounded Nature-Based Social Interventions
Nature-based social prescribing (NBSP) is gaining recognition as a means of addressing loneliness and fostering social connection, yet evidence of its effectiveness for socially marginalised groups remains limited. This explorative single-arm, pre-post study examined Friends in Nature (FiN), an eight-week NBSP program co-designed for and with 37 LGBTIQA+ asylum seekers and refugees in Melbourne. Participants were referred by a trusted partner org…
Systematic Literature Review of Decision‐Analytic Modeling Studies on Nature‐Based Social Prescribing and Loneliness
Nature‐based social prescribing (NBSP) is an evolving subject aiming to reduce loneliness and to foster social connections, health, and well‐being. To evaluate the short‐term and long‐term consequences of different health technologies, decision‐analytic modeling can be applied. Decision‐analytic modeling studies systematically integrate current short‐ and long‐term evidence to weigh benefits, harms, and costs of different strategies. Our systemat…
Challenging but worth it
Nature Prescribing or Nature Programming? Complementary Practices to Increase Time in Nature to Support Mental Health
There is extensive evidence that when people have parks, gardens, and greenery near their homes, they gain mental and physical health benefits. As a result, there are a number of health care initiatives to motivate people to spend time in local green spaces. This article proposes a network of access and engagement with nature to support health and well-being: Equitable access to nearby nature spaces; nature prescriptions to encourage people to in…

Co-Creating a Nature-Based Social Prescription Intervention in Urban Socioeconomically Deprived Neighbourhoods
Active citizen participation in research is important to generate societal impact of outcomes. Even so, many times, the community input in these processes is limited or non-existent, and co-creation processes are often not documented. This paper describes a structured and systematised protocol to co-create a nature-based social prescribing intervention addressed to face loneliness in urban deprived neighbourhoods. As a result, a nature-based soci…
To me, it's just natural to be in the garden”
We compare interviews with 30 new community gardeners in Denver, Colorado and Montpellier, France, using Self-determination theory, a general theory of motivation, to determine how new community gardeners may or may not have felt motivated based on psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Relatedness as a motivational feature carried through the interview data at both sites. Participants’ success or failure to relate to other…
Rationale, Feasibility, and Acceptability of the Meeting in Nature Together (Mint) Program
Recently, there has been an increase in feelings of loneliness and mental health conditions among adolescents. Within this population, parenting teens are at an increased risk for these conditions. Outdoor experiences are shown to be an antidote to loneliness and a way to promote social connectedness by amplifying the processes for supporting social relationships. In 2020-2021, we piloted the 8-week Meeting in Nature Together program (MINT) at a …
The impact of Covid-19 on public space
Restrictions on the use of public space and physical distancing have been key policy measures to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and protect public health. At the time of writing, one half of the world's population has been asked to stay home and avoid many public places. What will be the long term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on public space once the restrictions have been lifted? The depth and extent of transformation is unclear, especi…

Nature-Based Social Prescribing in Urban Settings to Improve Social Connectedness and Mental Well-being
A Study of Perceived Nature, Shade and Trees and Self-Reported Physical Activity in Denver
(1) Background: Current evidence on the association between greenery and physical activity (PA) remains inconsistent. Most studies on this association use objective measures of greenness, which do not reveal people's perceptions of greenness in neighborhoods, or the role of quality components of greenness, such as shade, trees, and the presence of nature on this association. (2) Methods: Drawing on data from the Neighborhood Environment and Healt…
How to Identify Success Among Networks That Promote Active Living
Objectives. We evaluated organization- and network-level factors that influence organizations’ perceived success. This is important for managing interorganizational networks, which can mobilize communities to address complex health issues such as physical activity, and for achieving change. Methods. In 2011, we used structured interview and network survey data from 22 states in the United States to estimate multilevel random-intercept models to u…
Exploring ecological, emotional and social levers of self-rated health for urban gardeners and non-gardeners
Displaced
Hurricane Katrina forced the largest and most abrupt displacement in U.S. history. About 1.5 million people evacuated from the Gulf Coast preceding Katrina’s landfall. New Orleans, a city of 500,000, was nearly emptied of life after the hurricane and flooding. Katrina survivors eventually scattered across all fifty states, and tens of thousands still remain displaced. Some are desperate to return to the Gulf Coast but cannot find the means. Other…
The Influence of Social Involvement, Neighborhood Aesthetics, and Community Garden Participation on Fruit and Vegetable Consumption
Objectives. We considered the relationship between an urban adult population's fruit and vegetable consumption and several selected social and psychological processes, beneficial aesthetic experiences, and garden participation. Methods. We conducted a population-based survey representing 436 residents across 58 block groups in Denver, Colorado, from 2006 to 2007. We used multilevel statistical models to evaluate the survey data. Results. Neighbor…

Global Dimensions of Gender and Carework
Why are women such prominent workers in the global marketplace? Why do so many perform jobs that involve carework? What political forces have made these women key participants in globalization? What are the consequences for the women themselves, for their families, and for societies and international relations in general? This book offers a provocative examination of globalization, examining the lives of the women at the center of these new globa…
Creating Status of Women Reports
Growing awareness of the underrepresentation of women in male-dominated fields like science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), has inspired universities across the United States to examine more carefully their strategies for recruiting, retaining, and promoting women students and faculty. To do so has required assembling personnel to organize and execute data collection, analyses, and interpretation. Not surprisingly, women faculty are th…

Women's Carework in Low-Income Households
This article presents qualitative interview data to explore the health-related carework of low-income women caregivers with special-needs children and the implications of carework for women's financial security. The author documents 'direct' and 'advocacy' carework as two types of caregiving that low-income women carry out in the context of declining government resources for poor disabled children. The author shows that the unique demands of care…

American Medicine and Divided Motherhood
On the basis of interview data, this article examines the mothering practices of three women, one Jew and two African-Americans, who raised their children in the 1930s and 1940s, a period in which medicine became the dominant discourse of motherhood. Each mother referred to medicalized motherhood with a discourse of scientific universals (e.g. “it was scientific”). Yet their approach to medicalized motherhood reflects their racial, ethnic and soc…
Mothering, Medicalization, and Jewish Identity, 1928-1940
This article examines the relationship between mothers and medical discourse, drawing from oral narratives of 20 Jewish women who gave birth to their first children between 1928 and 1940. The author shows that women encounter medical discourse not only as a system of technical knowledge but also as a package of cultural and social enterprises. Jewish mothers during this period mobilized medicalized mothering practices to signify their advancement…
