Green prescriptions—nature-based interventions to improve human health—are becoming increasingly popular, and this growing popularity highlights concerns regarding inclusive access and overly simplistic approaches. Despite culture as a key factor for how humans conceive of and engage with nature, it is mostly absent from green prescription program design and research. Better insight into participant experience of a culture-specific nature-based intervention would help design, conduct, and implement green prescriptions. This study aimed to explore the phenomenon of an immersive 6-day Gaelic culture-specific outdoor learning program and assess relevance of culture-specific design. A purposive sample of participants (n = 25) were recruited from the Shieling Project in Scotland, United Kingdom, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews from June 27 to September 3, 2022. Thematic analyses showed four key themes regarding the culture-specific relevance of the program: positive value of traditional ways of living, importance of traditional knowledge, personal values, and history. Culture-specific program design was key to positive outdoor learning experience suggesting that culture-specific green prescriptions may serve to improve equitable access and minimize reductionistic approaches to green prescriptions.

绿色处方——以自然为基础的改善人类健康的干预措施——正变得越来越流行，而这种日益流行凸显了对包容性获取和过于简单化的方法的担忧。尽管文化是人类如何看待自然和与自然互动的关键因素，但它在绿色处方项目的设计和研究中却大多缺失。更好地了解参与者对特定文化的自然干预的体验，将有助于设计、实施和实施绿色处方。本研究旨在探索为期6天的沉浸式盖尔文化特定户外学习计划的现象，并评估文化特定设计的相关性。从英国苏格兰的shield项目中招募了有目的的参与者样本（n = 25），并于2022年6月27日至9月3日通过半结构化访谈收集了数据。专题分析显示了该计划与文化相关的四个关键主题：传统生活方式的积极价值、传统知识的重要性、个人价值观和历史。特定文化的项目设计是积极的户外学习体验的关键，这表明特定文化的绿色处方可能有助于提高公平获取，并最大限度地减少对绿色处方的简化。

This study provides insight into ways in which food gardening experiences may have changed for Aotearoa New Zealand food gardeners during the country’s first Covid-19 lockdown. This paper explores self-reports of food gardening practices, and of access to food gardens, reasons for gardening, and the importance of food gardens and food gardening to people engaging with them before and during lockdown. Data were collected via an anonymous quantitative and qualitative online survey. Of the participants’ responses analysed (n = 266), they gardened for food mostly at home, with some food gardening in communal food gardens/other locations. Results are considered through an holistic lens of food wellbeing, with regards to food production and consumption that considers aspects of physical, psychological, social, cultural, and ecological health. Findings indicate changes to food gardening experiences in the Covid-19 lockdown period which have implications for wellbeing: Gardening to grow culturally relevant food increased in importance during lockdown for Māori and Pacific Island participants; and, nearly two-thirds of all participants reported food gardening for mental or physical wellbeing during lockdown compared to only half of participants before Covid-19. Further, participants deprioritised gardening for the purpose of growing healthy food during lockdown, with about two-thirds of respondents listing this in their top three reasons for food gardening compared to three-quarters before lockdown.

这项研究为新西兰食品园丁在该国首次Covid-19封锁期间的食品园艺经历可能发生的变化提供了见解。本文探讨了食品园艺实践的自我报告，以及进入食品花园的途径，园艺的原因，以及食品花园和食品园艺对在封锁之前和期间参与其中的人的重要性。数据通过匿名定量和定性在线调查收集。在被分析的参与者的回答中（n = 266），他们大多在家里种植食物，有些在公共食物花园/其他地方种植食物。结果是通过食物健康的整体视角来考虑的，关于食物生产和消费，考虑了身体、心理、社会、文化和生态健康的各个方面。研究结果表明，在Covid-19封锁期间，食品园艺经验发生了变化，这对健康产生了影响：在封锁期间，种植与文化相关的食物的园艺对Māori和太平洋岛屿参与者的重要性增加了；近三分之二的参与者报告说，在封锁期间，为了身心健康，他们做了食物园艺，而在Covid-19之前，只有一半的参与者这么做。此外，为了在封锁期间种植健康食品，参与者不再优先考虑园艺，约三分之二的受访者将其列为食品园艺的三大原因，而封锁前这一比例为四分之三。

This paper examines the spatial distribution of accessibility to health benefits and exposure to health risks at the small area level in Dublin, Ireland for six key factors: primary healthcare, green space, blue space, air pollution, road noise, and housing quality. The primary goal is to combine granular spatial data on these features into a composite open-source 'Health Rating Index' (HRI) and analyse its relationship to characteristics of the built, social, and transportation environment. To create the HRI, we calculated spatial accessibility to health 'benefits' using Enhanced Two-Step Floating Catchment Area (E2SFCA) methods with multiple distance decay functions, and estimated Years of Life Lost (YLL) per capita from health 'risks' (air pollution and road noise) using age-sex stratified mortality rates. We standardized and combined these six factors (testing three weighting approaches), and then used spatial cross-validation random forest with bootstrap confidence intervals to assess the relationship between HRI and sociodemographic and built environment features. Importantly, the paper’s spatial modelling approach, implemented through a new R package ‘SArf’, explicitly addresses spatial autocorrelation through within-fold spatial lag computation to prevent data leakage. Results show the HRI pattern is highly spatially-clustered, and that small areas with worse environmental health conditions tend to be more disadvantaged, older, less dense, and closer to major roads. This research provides useful insights on the ways in which transport investments, social disadvantage, environmental conditions, and health outcomes are critically linked in urban areas.

本文研究了爱尔兰都柏林小区域水平的健康利益可及性和健康风险暴露的空间分布，包括六个关键因素：初级卫生保健、绿地、蓝色空间、空气污染、道路噪音和住房质量。主要目标是将这些特征的颗粒空间数据组合成一个复合的开源“健康评级指数”（HRI），并分析其与建筑、社会和交通环境特征的关系。为了创建HRI，我们使用具有多个距离衰减函数的增强两步浮动集水区（E2SFCA）方法计算了健康“效益”的空间可达性，并使用年龄-性别分层死亡率估计了健康“风险”（空气污染和道路噪音）造成的人均寿命损失年（YLL）。我们对这六个因素进行了标准化和组合（测试了三种加权方法），然后使用带自举置信区间的空间交叉验证随机森林来评估HRI与社会人口统计学和建筑环境特征之间的关系。重要的是，本文的空间建模方法通过新的R包“SArf”实现，通过折叠内空间滞后计算明确地解决了空间自相关问题，以防止数据泄漏。结果表明：城市HRI格局具有高度的空间集聚性，环境卫生条件较差的小区域往往更弱势、更老、密度更低、更靠近主要道路；这项研究就城市地区交通投资、社会劣势、环境条件和健康结果之间的重要联系提供了有用的见解。

Background

Community-based trials are important for developing effective, real-world health improvement approaches that address built environment changes, but they often lack rural representation. This paper reports on community (n = 12) and study participant (n = 2420) characteristics of the Change Club (CC) project. Study participant characteristics are compared to publicly available data to determine reach and representativeness, and therefore, generalizability.

Methods

Weighted means of publicly available data by Zip Code Tabulation Area were calculated for community characteristics. Reach was calculated as the proportion of study participants enrolled in each community out of the total number of adults in the community. Participant means for each community were calculated for sociodemographic and health variables. Chi-square statistics and ratios of study participants to target populations were also calculated.

Results

On average, the CC study reached 1.3 % of the adult population across communities. Study communities were similar to rural nationwide and rural state populations in sociodemographic and health variables with some exceptions related to race and ethnicity. The study participant population was similar to their community population in many characteristics but differed in few (e.g., in 2–3 communities, participants were less likely to be older than 65; less likely to be Black or Hispanic; more likely to be unemployed; and/or less likely to be in fair or poor health).

Conclusions

These findings indicate that the CC study had reach and representativeness of rural communities and their residents in ranges similar to previous rural studies. Clearer standards for comparing differences between study samples and target populations are needed to ensure generalizability of future trials.

以社区为基础的试验对于制定有效的、现实世界的健康改善方法以应对建筑环境变化非常重要，但它们往往缺乏农村代表性。本文报道了Change Club （CC）项目的社区特征（n = 12）和研究参与者特征（n = 2420）。将研究参与者的特征与公开可用的数据进行比较，以确定覆盖面和代表性，从而确定普遍性。方法采用邮政编码制表区公开数据加权方法计算社区特征。Reach的计算方法是每个社区的研究参与者占该社区成年人总数的比例。根据社会人口学和健康变量计算每个社区的参与者均值。还计算了研究参与者与目标人群的卡方统计和比率。结果平均而言，CC研究覆盖了整个社区成年人口的1.3%。在社会人口学和健康变量方面，研究社区与全国农村和州农村人口相似，但在种族和族裔方面有一些例外。研究参与者人口在许多特征上与其所在社区人口相似，但在少数特征上有所不同（例如，在2-3个社区中，参与者年龄在65岁以上的可能性较小；黑人或西班牙裔的可能性较小；失业的可能性较大；和/或健康状况不佳或健康状况不佳的可能性较小）。结论CC研究在农村社区及其居民的覆盖范围和代表性与以往农村研究相似。需要更明确的标准来比较研究样本和目标人群之间的差异，以确保未来试验的普遍性。

Although quantitative and qualitative tools exist for assessing environments for older adults and care workers at residential care facilities (RCFs), a method for mapping quantitative accesses to physical outdoor environmental aspects, such as windows, entrances, balconies, patios, gardens, parks, and squares is lacking. The aim of this study is to develop a matrix and manual for quantitatively mapping the existence of access to physical environmental aspects of outdoor environments for older adults and care workers at RCFs. The matrix and manual are developed through an interdisciplinary approach involving healthcare science, architecture, and landscape architecture, and included a ten-step process comprising the identification of a theoretical basis, definition of physical environmental aspects, construction of the matrix, development of a manual, a pilot study, iterative revisions, and quality assurance. The matrix and manual are developed for use at a national level, but can also be applied locally, for example within a single municipality. The matrix comprises 26 physical environmental aspects, and the manual describes how to carry out the mapping. By using the matrix and the manual, insights can be gained into physical environmental conditions for outdoor environments as part of everyday life and arenas for person-centred care and rehabilitation. Insights from such research can contribute to a broader understanding of how to meet the needs and wishes of older adults and care workers related to outdoor environments at RCFs and in similar healthcare settings, both nationally and internationally.

尽管存在定量和定性工具来评估居住护理设施（rcf）中老年人和护理人员的环境，但缺乏定量绘制室外物理环境方面（如窗户、入口、阳台、露台、花园、公园和广场）的方法。这项研究的目的是编制一份矩阵和手册，以定量地描绘出老年人和护理人员在rcf的室外环境的物理环境方面的存在情况。矩阵和手册是通过涉及医疗科学、建筑学和景观建筑学的跨学科方法开发的，包括十个步骤的过程，包括确定理论基础、定义物理环境方面、构建矩阵、开发手册、试点研究、迭代修订和质量保证。编制矩阵和手册是为了在国家一级使用，但也可以在地方上应用，例如在一个城市内。该矩阵包括26个物理环境方面，手册描述了如何进行映射。通过使用矩阵和手册，可以深入了解户外环境的物理环境条件，作为日常生活的一部分，以及以人为中心的护理和康复场所。此类研究的见解有助于更广泛地了解如何在国家和国际上满足rcf和类似医疗保健机构中老年人和护理人员与户外环境有关的需求和愿望。

Continued population ageing in Singapore means there is a growing proportion of older adults, who are remaining in the community for longer, in line with the ageing in place policy encouraged in almost all ageing populations. This article focuses on Singapore’s Chinatown as a unique place where cultural heritage and older adults intersect and where both are experience and perceiving change in different ways, which contributes toward older adults’ subjective wellbeing. Utilising focus group discussions with community members of Chinatown, this article aims to: 1. To discover how the relationship between nostalgia and cultural heritage plays a role in the subjective wellbeing of older adults in Singapore’s Chinatown; and based on the relationship discovered: 2. To explore what solutions there are to some of the concerns raised by participants in terms of the cultural heritage and older adults of Singapore’s Chinatown. Our reflexive thematic analysis emphasises that participants felt that cultural heritage, has changed for the worse for older adults and this means older adults feel nostalgic for a past Chinatown. While most participants feel that the past Chinatown is gone, they feel some elements can be re/enacted or brought back. Ultimately, participants identified solutions which aimed to improve both the subjective wellbeing of older adults and help pass on and restore the cultural heritage of Singapore’s Chinatown. The findings have significant implications for the role of older adults in the community, in terms of ageing in place and as guardians of, but also part of cultural heritage themselves.

新加坡持续的人口老龄化意味着老年人的比例越来越大，他们在社区生活的时间更长，这与几乎所有老龄化人口都鼓励的就地老龄化政策相一致。这篇文章的重点是新加坡唐人街作为一个独特的地方，文化遗产和老年人相交，在这里体验和感知变化以不同的方式，这有助于老年人的主观幸福感。本文利用与唐人街社区成员的焦点小组讨论，旨在：1。探索怀旧与文化遗产之间的关系在新加坡唐人街老年人主观幸福感中的作用；并根据关系发现：2。探讨参与者在文化遗产和新加坡唐人街老年人方面提出的一些问题的解决方案。我们的反身性主题分析强调，参与者认为文化遗产对老年人来说已经变得更糟了，这意味着老年人对过去的唐人街感到怀旧。虽然大多数参与者觉得过去的唐人街已经一去不复返了，但他们觉得有些元素可以重新制定或带回。最终，参与者确定了旨在提高老年人主观幸福感和帮助传承和恢复新加坡唐人街文化遗产的解决方案。这一发现对老年人在社区中的角色有着重要的影响，就老龄化和作为文化遗产的守护者而言，他们本身也是文化遗产的一部分。

In the context of global sustainable development, the sustainable construction of urban parks has attracted much attention. The developing countries represented by China have insufficient experience in park construction. The park is mainly for sightseeing and lacks the methods of sustainable park construction. At present, studies on the sustainability of urban parks are mostly carried out from the perspectives of index evaluation and expert evaluation, and few are considered from the perspective of citizens' use. There are also few studies that establish correlation between sustainability and well-being for unified analysis. This study investigates the correlation between the sustainability of urban parks and recreational well-being from the citizens’ perspective, based on which a correlation model was constructed. Suggestions for the planning, design, construction, and management of sustainable urban parks (to improve recreational well-being) are provided. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park in China was investigated as a case study, and 444 valid questionnaires were used in a structural equation model analysis for empirical tests. The results show that: (1) The sustainability perception of urban parks can significantly positively affect the recreational well-being of citizens (2) The intensity of the impacts of park sustainability assessment factors on recreational well-being was as follows: sense of place > leisure and health > economic perception > green construction and nature conservation > education value > natural environment > infrastructure. The construction of parks should not only improve the ecological environment, but also consider green construction, nature protection, and the functions of space and facilities, which can increase surrounding business opportunities. Moreover, stakeholders should consider the protection and shaping of the sense of place so as to build people’s emotional connection to urban parks.

在全球可持续发展的背景下，城市公园的可持续建设备受关注。以中国为代表的发展中国家在园区建设方面经验不足。公园以观光为主，缺乏可持续的公园建设方法。目前对城市公园可持续性的研究多从指标评价和专家评价的角度展开，很少从市民使用的角度进行考虑。也很少有研究建立可持续性和福祉之间的相关性进行统一分析。本研究从市民的角度探讨了城市公园可持续性与游憩幸福感的相关性，并在此基础上构建了相关模型。为可持续城市公园的规划、设计、建设和管理提供建议（以提高娱乐福祉）。以北京奥林匹克森林公园为例，采用结构方程模型分析444份有效问卷进行实证检验。结果表明：(1)城市公园可持续性感知显著正向影响市民游憩幸福感；(2)公园可持续性评价因子对游憩幸福感的影响强度依次为：场所感、休闲与健康感、经济感知、绿色建设与自然保护感、教育价值感、自然环境感、基础设施感。公园的建设不仅要改善生态环境，还要考虑绿色建设、保护自然、空间设施的功能，可以增加周边的商业机会。此外，利益相关者应考虑对场所感的保护和塑造，从而建立人们与城市公园的情感联系。

Colombia is undergoing rapid population aging, yet its infrastructure to support healthy aging is limited. This study examines the associations between environmental conditions—home, neighborhood, and community infrastructure—and depression among older adults, separately for urban and rural settings. Using data from the 2015 SABE-Colombia survey, a nationally representative study of adults aged 60 and older, we analyzed the association between depressive symptoms (GDS-15) and home disorder, housing materials, neighborhood disorder, neighborhood amenities, and community infrastructure. We found that for older adults living in urban areas with poorer housing materials had higher depression scores, while those living in neighborhoods with more amenities and community infrastructure had significantly lower higher depression scores. In rural areas, greater access to neighborhood amenities was associated to lower depression. Home and neighborhood disorder were not significantly associated with depression in either setting. Our findings highlight the importance of examining environmental conditions both independently and jointly, and of accounting for rural–urban differences when studying environmental determinants of mental health. The results highlight how contextual variation in infrastructure and housing quality can shape depression in later life in Colombia and may have broader relevance for other Latin American countries.

哥伦比亚正在经历迅速的人口老龄化，但其支持健康老龄化的基础设施有限。本研究考察了环境条件——家庭、邻里和社区基础设施——与老年人抑郁之间的关系，分别针对城市和农村环境进行了研究。我们使用2015年sbe -哥伦比亚调查的数据（一项针对60岁及以上成年人的全国代表性研究），分析了抑郁症状（GDS-15）与家庭障碍、住房材料、邻里障碍、邻里便利设施和社区基础设施之间的关系。我们发现，生活在住房条件较差的城市地区的老年人抑郁得分较高，而生活在设施和社区基础设施较多的社区的老年人抑郁得分明显较低。在农村地区，更多的社区设施与较低的抑郁症有关。在两种情况下，家庭和邻里关系紊乱与抑郁症没有显著关联。我们的研究结果强调了在研究心理健康的环境决定因素时，独立和共同检查环境条件以及考虑城乡差异的重要性。研究结果强调了基础设施和住房质量的背景差异如何影响哥伦比亚人晚年的抑郁症，并可能对其他拉丁美洲国家具有更广泛的相关性。

In today’s hyperconnected world, most people across generations perceive frequent internet use as normal and acceptable. However, this assumption needs closer examination, as it overlooks potential risks associated with excessive connectivity—risks that may threaten our generation's well-being, known as digital well-being (DWB). The definition and formation of this construct remain fragmented. This study conducted a scoping review to identify, analyze, and synthesize existing definitions, measurements tools, and intervention strategies related to DWB. Using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology, seven major databases were systematically searched, yielding 26 eligible articles. Notably, research originating from Asia remains scarce. Existing definitions converge on three perspective: (1) DWB as an emerging concept of well-being influenced by technology use, (2) as the perceived impact of digital engagement on individual well-being, and (3) as a balanced-use strategy within digital environments. Three overarching themes were synthesized—behavioral intention to use technology, eudaimonic well-being, and socio-cultural contextual factors. Measurement tools of DWB remain limited; with five scales identified but none offering an integrated framework. Interventions, particularly those emphasizing digital disconnection, reveal mixed results regarding their effectiveness. Collectively, these findings highlight conceptual ambiguities, limited measurement development, and inconsistent intervention outcome. This review advances theoretical clarity by framing DWB as a multidimensional construct that bridges psychological and socio-technological domains. It also provide practical guidance for developing culturally adaptive interventions and policy frameworks that promote balanced and meaningful digital engagement.

在当今这个高度互联的世界里，大多数人不分年龄都认为频繁使用互联网是正常的、可以接受的。然而，这一假设需要更仔细的检验，因为它忽略了与过度连接相关的潜在风险，这些风险可能会威胁到我们这一代人的福祉，即所谓的数字福祉（DWB）。这个结构的定义和形成仍然是支离破碎的。本研究进行了范围审查，以确定、分析和综合与DWB相关的现有定义、测量工具和干预策略。使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所（JBI）的方法，系统地检索了七个主要数据库，产生了26篇符合条件的文章。值得注意的是，来自亚洲的研究仍然很少。现有的定义集中在三个方面：(1)DWB作为受技术使用影响的新兴福祉概念，(2)作为数字参与对个人福祉的感知影响，以及(3)作为数字环境中的平衡使用策略。三个主要的主题是综合的-使用技术的行为意图，幸福感和社会文化背景因素。DWB的测量工具仍然有限；确定了五个量表，但没有一个提供一个综合框架。干预措施，特别是那些强调数字断绝的干预措施，在其有效性方面显示出好坏参半的结果。总的来说，这些发现突出了概念上的模糊性，有限的测量发展和不一致的干预结果。本综述通过将DWB框架作为一个多维结构，连接心理和社会技术领域，从而提高了理论清晰度。它还为制定与文化相适应的干预措施和政策框架提供了实用指导，以促进平衡和有意义的数字参与。

Background

Housing eviction is interrelated with alcohol consumption and harms that are fully and partially attributable to alcohol. For populations experiencing an increased risk of both eviction and alcohol-related harms, understanding community resiliencies that protect against both issues could reveal key intervention opportunities.

Methods

We recruited adults (n = 16) from Allegheny County, PA with lived experiences of eviction/eviction threat and regular alcohol use (ages 24–59, 68.8% identified as Black, 68.8% as female, 93.8% as heterosexual). Through semi-structured baseline interviews and follow-up photo elicitation interviews, participants discussed and photographed assets in their neighborhood and living environments that prevented or reduced the negative impacts of alcohol and/or eviction. We analyzed data from interviews using thematic analysis.

Results

Challenges discussed by participants included eviction threat and post-eviction housing insecurity, drinking to cope with eviction-related stress, and alcohol-related harms and problems, which included eviction. Assets that protected against challenges related to both alcohol and eviction included social support, legal and financial assistance for housing, access (including transportation) to employment that pays a living wage, access to green space, opportunities to exercise, and community spaces. Community spaces increased access to other assets by facilitating social ties, resource dissemination, and activities to help cope with eviction-related stress.

Conclusions

Improving community resources and spaces could reduce the impacts of eviction and alcohol-related harms. Strategies that address housing insecurity in conjunction with other social determinants of health may reduce the burden of alcohol and eviction.

住房驱逐与酒精消费和完全或部分归因于酒精的危害有关。对于面临驱逐和酒精相关危害风险增加的人群，了解防止这两个问题的社区复原力可以揭示关键的干预机会。方法：我们从宾夕法尼亚州阿勒格尼县（Allegheny County）招募了有过驱逐/驱逐威胁和经常饮酒经历的成年人（n = 16）（年龄24-59岁，68.8%为黑人，68.8%为女性，93.8%为异性恋）。通过半结构化的基线访谈和后续的照片引出访谈，参与者讨论并拍摄了其社区和生活环境中防止或减少酒精和/或驱逐的负面影响的资产。我们使用专题分析来分析访谈数据。结果参与者讨论的挑战包括驱逐威胁和驱逐后的住房不安全，饮酒以应对驱逐相关压力，以及与酒精相关的危害和问题，其中包括驱逐。防范与酗酒和驱逐有关的挑战的资产包括社会支持、住房方面的法律和财政援助、获得支付生活工资的就业机会（包括交通）、获得绿色空间、锻炼机会和社区空间。社区空间通过促进社会联系、资源传播和帮助应对驱逐相关压力的活动，增加了获得其他资产的机会。结论改善社区资源和空间可以减少驱逐和酒精相关危害的影响。将解决住房不安全问题的战略与健康的其他社会决定因素结合起来，可以减轻酗酒和驱逐的负担。
