New research has unearthed a link between green space and the mental health of children.
The study looked at the impact of nature on the wellbeing of four-year-old children living in Bradford.
Said to be the first of its kind to explore the relationship between the quantity, quality, and use of green space and its effect on mental health, the research has now been published in The Lancet’s Planetary Health Journal.
The study is part of the landmark Born in Bradford (BiB) project, one of the biggest health research studies undertaken in the UK as it is tracking the lives of thousands of the city’s children into adulthood and beyond.
The research found that, among South Asian children, the amount of green space in the local neighbourhood had a positive impact on their health as it was associated with fewer behavioural difficulties.
