Community Nature Walks for Stress Reduction

This study is looking at how community nature walks, called the Reclaiming Nature Intervention, can help reduce stress in Black, Latinx, Pilipinx, and Pacific Islander communities in San Francisco. The goal is to see if spending time in nature can help prevent health differences often seen in these groups. You could join if you are 18 or older, can walk, and can commit to a 9-month program. This includes 6 months of group nature walks and 3 months of chosen nature activities with family or friends. Researchers will measure changes in your stress levels, including your telomere length (a biological marker related to aging and stress), to see if the intervention is successful. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 200 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would commit to a 9-month Nature Intervention, which includes 6 months of community nature walks and 3 months of chosen nature activities.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your telomere length will be measured at the start, during the intervention, immediately after, and 3 months after the intervention ends.
