Students who spent most of their time at home during the COVID-19 epidemic experienced better mental health when exposed to more greenery, and the mental health-supportive effects of indoor greenery were largely explained by increased feelings of being away while at home.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework organizing the pathways linking biodiversity to human health, including reducing harm (e.g., reducing exposure to air and noise pollution), restoring capacities, promoting physical activity, transcendent experiences, and causing harm.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human–nature interactions: Pathways, evidence and implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest a conceptual framework for understanding how the COVID-19 pandemic might affect the dynamics of human-nature interactions and suggest that there are several feedback loops by which changes in human nature interactions induced by the pandemic can lead to further changes in these interactions.

Urban street tree biodiversity and antidepressant prescriptions.
Melissa R. Marselle,Melissa R. Marselle,Diana E. Bowler,Diana E. Bowler,Jan Watzema,David Eichenberg,David Eichenberg,Toralf Kirsten,Aletta Bonn,Aletta Bonn +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined spatial scale effects of street trees at different distances around participant's homes, using Euclidean buffers of 100, 300, 500, and 1000 m. They found that unintentional daily contact to nature through street trees close to the home may reduce the risk of depression, especially for individuals in deprived groups.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

The PHQ-9: validity of a brief depression severity measure.
TL;DR: In addition to making criteria-based diagnoses of depressive disorders, the PHQ-9 is also a reliable and valid measure of depression severity, which makes it a useful clinical and research tool.

A Brief Measure for Assessing Generalized Anxiety Disorder: The GAD-7
TL;DR: In this article, a 7-item anxiety scale (GAD-7) had good reliability, as well as criterion, construct, factorial, and procedural validity, and increasing scores on the scale were strongly associated with multiple domains of functional impairment.
