The Depth and Subsets of Cumulative Burdens Across the United States
Introduction: The Justice40 initiative was introduced in 2021 to ensure that at least 40% of U.S. federal investments for environmental, energy, housing, and workforce development initiatives are allocated to disadvantaged communities. The Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool (CEJST) was developed to define disadvantaged communities to meet this goal. However, dichotomous community classification (disadvantaged vs. not) overlooks broad dif…

‘It Feels Really Vulnerable and a Little Dangerous’: When Words Are Not Enough
Imagine being given the immense responsibility and gift as a researcher to deliver a person’s final nature experience. People living with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often sheltered from nature experiences due to their disease status; however, they have rich memories of past nature experiences. The goals of this overall journey of co-creation were two-fold: (1) co-create personalized nature-based utilizing immersive 36…

Influence of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Students’ Social Experience: A Cross-Sectional Qualitative Study across Seven Universities in the U.S
The COVID-19 pandemic affected and continues to modify students’ social life and as a result may impact their long-term development. This study is a part of a larger research project focused on the psychological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on university students. For this manuscript, we employed content analysis to analyze 1,327 quotes related to changes in social experiences and outcomes related to these changes from a sample of 1,099 stude…
Virtual Notebooks: Collaboration & Connection During Covid-19 and Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many instructors to find new ways to achieve learning outcomes and connect to students within a hybrid or online teaching landscape. However, some of the creative ways instructors connected with students can now be used both in online classes and as we adapt back into full-time in-person instruction. Virtual notebooks were a tool used by this writing team to help structure online and in-person courses at both the unde…
Co-creating and delivering personalized, nature-based VR experiences: Proof-of-concept study with four U.S. adults living with severe COPD
Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) makes visiting outdoor spaces difficult. This proof-of-concept study tapped into personally meaningful outdoor memories to co-create and deliver personalized nature-based VR experiences with four adults living in upstate South Carolina, U.S. Our study objective was to evaluate participant responses to the co-creation process and VR experience. We identified familiar landscapes with each particip…

“Messy transitions”: Students’ perspectives on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on higher education
Psychological impacts from Covid-19 among university students: Risk factors across seven states in the United States
Background University students are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population, suffering from higher levels of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and disordered eating compared to the general population. Therefore, when the nature of their educational experience radically changes—such as sheltering in place during the COVID-19 pandemic—the burden on the mental health of this vulnerable population is amplified. The objectives of this st…
Green Space and Health Equity: A Systematic Review on the Potential of Green Space to Reduce Health Disparities
Disadvantaged groups worldwide, such as low-income and racially/ethnically minoritized people, experience worse health outcomes than more privileged groups, including wealthier and white people. Such health disparities are a major public health issue in several countries around the world. In this systematic review, we examine whether green space shows stronger associations with physical health for disadvantaged groups than for privileged groups. …
The Role of Methodological Choices in the Effects of Experimental Exposure to Simulated Natural Landscapes on Human Health and Cognitive Performance: A Systematic Review
We review the methods and findings of experiments that have examined the effects of exposure to simulated natural landscapes on human health and cognitive performance. Keyword searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science resulted in the inclusion of 175 experiments in 148 research articles. that were published/in press by December 31, 2018. We report how often landscape features and human factors are controlled for within these experiments, the…
We have to be a little more realistic’: Women’s outdoor recreation experiences in a community hiking group
Grounded in the theoretical framework of ecological feminism, this study explores the tension between constraint and empowerment that often marks women’s participation in outdoor recreation. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and thirteen semi-structured interviews, this study examines how women in a co-ed community hiking group in the Midwest region of the United States experience the gendered space of outdoor recreation. Analysis of the observat…
