TL;DR: Higher levels of neighborhood green space were associated with significantly lower levels of symptomology for depression, anxiety and stress, after controlling for a wide range of confounding factors.

TL;DR: Rural women experience higher rates of IPV and greater frequency and severity of physical abuse yet live much farther away from available resources, and more IPV resources and interventions targeting rural women are needed.

TL;DR: A more complete theoretical understanding of the relationship between neighborhood environment and IPV, especially considering differences among urban, semiurban, and rural settings and developed and developing country settings, will be necessary to advance research questions and improve policy and intervention responses to reduce the burden of IPV.

TL;DR: The state of evidence on relationships among urban green space, violence, and crime in the United States is determined, indicating great potential for green space to shape health-promoting environments.

TL;DR: For example, this paper examined the relationship between environmental green space and mental health outcomes in a study area that includes a spectrum of urban to rural environments and found that higher levels of neighborhood green space were associated with significantly lower levels of symptomology for depression, anxiety and stress, after controlling for a wide range of confounding factors.
