Mental Health Benefits of Long-Term Exposure to Residential Green and Blue Spaces
Many studies conducted during the last decade suggest the mental health benefits of green and blue spaces. We aimed to systematically review the available literature on the long-term mental health benefits of residential green and blue spaces by including studies that used standardized tools or objective measures of both the exposures and the outcomes of interest. We followed the PRISMA statement guidelines for reporting systematic reviews and me…
Green spaces and cognitive development in primary schoolchildren
Significance Green spaces have a range of health benefits, but little is known in relation to cognitive development in children.

This assoc…
Participatory health system priority setting
Green and Blue Spaces and Behavioral Development in Barcelona Schoolchildren
BACKGROUND: Green spaces have been associated with improved mental health in children; however, available epidemiological evidence on their impact on child behavioral development is scarce. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the impact of contact with green spaces and blue spaces (beaches) on indicators of behavioral development and symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in schoolchildren. METHODS: This study was based on a sample o…
