与自然环境接触可能有益于各种健康和社会成果，但在受益最大的群体中往往较低。使用来自英国> 60，000名成年人的数据，我们探索了空间分布，（例如，当地绿地的数量），个人（如社会经济地位）和时间（例如季节性）不经常接触的预测因素及其原因。重复早期的小型研究，不经常使用者更有可能;女性、老年人、健康状况不佳、社会经济地位较低、属于少数民族、生活在相对贫困的地区，周围绿地较少，而且离海岸较远。扩展以前的研究结果，我们还确定了区域，季节和年度的影响。虽然对时间问题的回应很重要，但“不感兴趣”和“没有特别的原因”也很常见。确定这些理由的预测因素（例如，区域剥夺预测“不感兴趣”，但个人社会经济地位预测“没有特别的原因”）揭示了哪些人口群体参与旨在激发更大兴趣的具体干预措施，并与自然世界接触，为自然界的积极体验提供更具包容性的机会。
Contact with natural environments may be beneficial for various health and social outcomes but is often lower among groups who could benefit the most. Using data from > 60,000 adults in England, we explored the spatial (e.g. amount of local greenspace), individual (e.g. socio-economic status) and temporal (e.g. seasonality) predictors of infrequent contact and the reasons given for it. Replicating earlier, smaller studies, infrequent users were more likely to be; female, older, in poor health, of lower socioeconomic status, of ethnic minority status, live in relatively deprived areas with less neighbourhood greenspace and be further from the coast. Extending previous findings, we also identified regional, seasonal and annual effects. Although response on issues of time availability were important, being 'not interested' and 'no particular reason' were also common. Identifying the predictors of these justifications (e.g. area deprivation was predictive of 'not interested', but individual socioeconomic status was predictive of 'no particular reason') sheds light on which demographic groups to engage in specific interventions designed to inspire greater interest in, and contact with, the natural world to offer more inclusive opportunities for positive experiences in nature.
