hey everyone! i made a list of some useful starter packs (primarily biology/earth sciences with a few bonus things thrown in) to share with friends who have joined bsky in the last week and thought it may be useful for some people here too! 🌍🧪 #SciSky #BioSky docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Implications: Encouraging time in nature could could be a simple yet effective way to help reduce inequalities in children's mental wellbeing 🌈

But local authorities need to ensure children have access to natural spaces, especially in disadvantaged areas 🌼

3️⃣ Benefits were stronger for children from lower-income households, but varied by activity level and outcome 💚
- Gentle activities in nature reduced behavioral difficulties 🚶‍♀️ 😊
- Vigorous activities promoted positive social behaviors 🏃‍♀️🤝

3 Key Findings:

1️⃣ Spending 60 mins daily in nature associated with 50% lower risk of behavioral & emotional difficulties 🎉

2️⃣ Gentle and vigorous activities in nature showed equally positive effects 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♀️

We used GPS & accelerometry data from 640 children to measure:
• Time in nature 🌳⏱️
• Physical activity in nature 🏃‍♂️🍃

We linked this to 3 mental wellbeing outcomes 🧠

And examined moderation by SES & sex 🔍

Disadvantaged children are more likely to have mental health problems & less access to support 💔

Exposure to nature may benefit children's mental wellbeing and reduce inequalities 🌳

However, previous findings are mixed because studies typically measure 'nature near home' rather than direct use 🏡

Use of nature 🌿 is associated with reduced inequalities in child mental wellbeing 🧠
