Is Greener Better? Quantifying the Impact of a Nature Walk on Stress Reduction Using HRV and Saliva Cortisol Biomarkers
The physiological impact of walking in nature was quantified via continuous heart rate variability (HRV), pre- and post-walk saliva cortisol measures, and self-reported mood and mindfulness scores for N = 17 participants who walked "The Green Road" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. For N = 15 of the participants, HRV analysis revealed two main groups: group one individuals had a 104% increase (mean) in the roo…
Who sees the chaplain? Characteristics and correlates of behavioral health care-seeking in the military

Among the 36.5% of SM who self-identified needing counseling, percentages of SMs receiving counseling were lower among those perceivin…

Using multiple regression analysis, close and flexible family r…
