Current methodologies of greenspace exposure and mental health research—a scoping review

J. Freymueller, H. Schmid, et al.

A scoping review of 338 studies maps the diverse methodologies linking greenspace and mental health, revealing 28 assessment pairings and uneven use of methods — from GIS mapping to self-report questionnaires. The research, conducted by Julius Freymueller, Hannah‑Lea Schmid, Ben Senkler, Susanne Lopez Lumbi, Stefan Zerbe, Claudia Hornberg, and Timothy McCall, highlights gaps, reporting inconsistencies, and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to design mentally healthy living environments.
