Effects of Home Neighborhood Tree Canopy Coverage on Mental Health Outcomes: A Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Investigation
After adjusting for SDoH, the direct effect of TCC on mental health after TBI was small and opposite the direction hypothesized (higher TCC associated with poorer mental health), particularly for those living in rural neighborhoods potentially more likely to experience socioeconomic disadvantage. Our findings highlight the importance of evaluating interactions between different aspects of the social (eg, SDoH), natural (eg, greenspace), and built (eg, neighborhood type) environment to provide a comprehensive understanding of factors affecting health after TBI.
