Children's connection to nature (CTN) is declining with each generation, a concerning trend given that CTN positively linked wellbeing and environmentalism. A primary cause of this decline twenty-first-century youth engage screens for several hours day, which large extent replaces nature-based play. Researchers have proposed change represents transition in human orientation, particularly Westernized societies, from (biophilia) digital media (videophilia). Interventions promoting play must...

Abstract Background Embedding researchers into policy and other settings may enhance research capacity within organisations to enable them become more active. We aimed generate an evidence map on evaluations of embedded researcher interventions (i) identify where systematic reviews primary are needed (ii) develop conceptual understandings ‘embedded researchers’. define researchers’ through a set principles that incorporate elements such as the aim activities, types relationships learning...

Abstract Aim Developing policies and services to address health inequalities occurs within highly complex, political environments, the literature points an underutilisation of research. This ineffective mobilisation evidence is a result challenges emerging from both research practice organisations. In response, many interventions have been funded enhance “research activity” in public decision-making, but we lack holistic understanding what characterises activity these settings. Addressing...

Issues of economic inequality are inextricably linked to the present climate and environmental crisis, with disadvantaged groups facing disproportionate impacts. This paper explores intersection socioeconomic status (SES) degrees emotional, cognitive, behavioural engagement as well equity in provision change sustainability education (CCSE). We surveyed over 2000 students (ages 11–14) England, comparing responses between most (n = 599) fewest 389) books at home (as a proxy for SES). Students...

Awareness of environmental problems such as climate change can motivate action, but educators debate whether to raise students' awareness given that it may provoke eco-anxiety. We have even less understanding how these relationships are affected by young people's growing disconnection from nature. Through 28 semi-structured interviews in Canada and the United Kingdom, we explore perceive nature connection eco-anxiety they introduce discussion problems. Educators frequently observed...

Recreation in protected areas can greatly contribute to health and wellbeing, but there exist significant demographic disparities area use across Europe North America. Minority ethnic groups, particular, are often underrepresented due a variety of cultural, economic, discriminatory barriers. Muslims one the fastest growing minority communities Western countries have received little study context areas. More research is therefore needed understand exclusion as experienced by Muslim...

Abstract Background Embedded researchers are a novel intervention to improve the translation of research evidence into policy and practice settings, including public health. These roles being implemented with increasing popularity, but they often lack clear evaluative frameworks. Understanding initial levels activity, associated barriers opportunities, is essential developing theories change thus shaping defining expectations. We aimed identify principal determinants activity in health that...

Improved collaboration and communication between public health practitioners academia could enhance the flow of research evidence into policy practice. Embedded researchers present one type intervention with potential to bridge research-implementation gap through their dual affiliations decision makers academia. Although embedded researcher posts are garnering increasing attention in health, there remains a need understand mechanisms which they may promote translation To address this gap, we...

Upon entering the strangeness of North American prairie, a pioneer remarked: 'I found no path, trail but only bush and water. Wherever I looked saw native land - foreign.' A has already preceded this settler. It is profound lack unity between man his environment, sympathy with feelings prompted by new land. This occurrence incessant resettlement space within which finds himself. Such now familiar story exile. De Chirico speaks to enigma when he says we should live life as if in vast museum...
