本研究调查了居住在弗吉尼亚州里士满的以非裔美国人为主的青少年的活动空间中，使用归一化差异植被指数(NDVI)获取的城市绿地与使用地理生态瞬时评估(GEMA)获取的心理压力之间的瞬时关联。我们使用广义估计方程(GEE)来估计城市绿地暴露对压力的影响，并通过性别、情绪失调、季节、社区劣势以及观察是发生在家里还是其他地方来测试缓和。结果表明，当受试者不在家时，城市绿地与较低的压力有关，我们推测这是由于与暴露在自然区域相关的压力减轻和注意力恢复的特性，以及家庭内其他压力动态机制的首要地位。受试者也可以在压力较小的时候寻找城市绿地，或者明确地出于缓解压力的目的。不同性别、情绪失调、邻里劣势或季节的绿地压力关系不存在差异，后者表明，观察到的绿地压力关系与处于自然环境中有关，而不是严格地暴露在丰富的绿色植被中。鉴于在这里和其他研究中发现的城市绿地与较低的压力之间的关联，未来的研究应该解决不同人口亚群的绿地、压力和与压力相关的负面健康结果之间的中介途径，以此作为了解和解决健康差异的手段。
This study investigates the momentary association between urban greenspace, captured using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from Landsat imagery, and psychological stress, captured using Geographic Ecological Momentary Assessment (GEMA), in the activity spaces of a sample of primarily African American adolescents residing in Richmond, Virginia. We employ generalized estimating equations (GEE) to estimate the effect of exposure to urban greenspace on stress and test for moderation by sex, emotional dysregulation, season, neighborhood disadvantage, and whether the observation occurs at home or elsewhere. Results indicate that urban greenspace is associated with lower stress when subjects are away from home, which we speculate is due to the properties of stress reduction and attention restoration associated with exposure to natural areas, and to the primacy of other family dynamics mechanisms of stress within the home. Subjects may also seek out urban greenspaces at times of lower stress or explicitly for purposes of stress reduction. The greenspace-stress association away from home did not differ by sex, emotional dysregulation, neighborhood disadvantage, or season, the latter of which suggests that the observed greenspace-stress relationship is associated with being in a natural environment rather than strictly exposure to abundant green vegetation. Given the association of urban greenspace with lower stress found here and in other studies, future research should address the mediated pathways between greenspace, stress, and stress-related negative health outcomes for different population subgroups as a means toward understanding and addressing health disparities.
