Rational & Study Design

Why I created this challenge:

Amidst rising mental health concerns, scholarly research underscores the therapeutic potential of nature. Social media and popular press often romanticize the calming effects of the outdoors, aligning with scientific findings that link nature exposure to improved well-being. This challenge, Structured Nature Walks for Mental Health, is designed to scientifically test and potentially validate these claims, aiming to offer a structured, progressive nature engagement as a viable mental health intervention.

My Objective for You:

To rigorously test the impact of structured nature walks on your mental health using established well-being scales, aiming for measurable improvements in your happiness and overall well-being by the endpoint.

Aims & Objectives:

First, to systematically increase your engagement with nature through structured walks and observe changes in mental health indicators, measured by the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire and The BBC Well-being Scale Survey. Second, to validate or refute popular claims about the mental health benefits of nature exposure, providing robust data.

Significance & Impact:

This challenge could significantly impact public health strategies by providing empirical evidence on the mental health benefits of structured nature engagement. Expected outcomes include improved happiness scores and well-being, potentially influencing future mental health interventions. Limitations include variability in individual responses and environmental factors.
