Rational & Study Design

Why I created this challenge:

Research consistently points to nature's role in enhancing psychological well-being, reducing stress, and improving mood. Social media and popular press often echo these findings, promoting nature as a therapeutic backdrop. Given the rising global anxiety levels, it's crucial to formally evaluate the impact of daily nature walks on anxiety through structured, empirical study. This challenge is designed to provide both scientific insights and real-world benefits.

My Objective for You:

To rigorously assess how daily nature walks can influence your anxiety levels, general life satisfaction, and overall quality of life, enhancing your mental well-being through quantifiable and experiential outcomes.

Aims & Objectives:

The primary aim is to measure the change in participants' anxiety levels and life satisfaction from baseline to endpoint through daily nature walks. Secondary objectives include evaluating overall enhancements in quality of life and documenting participant adherence and experience.

Significance & Impact:

This challenge is significant as it bridges empirical research with community-driven wellness practices, potentially providing a low-cost, accessible intervention for anxiety reduction. Expected outcomes include improved mental health metrics, with limitations including participant variability and environmental factors.
