The WHO indicates 10% to 20% of children and adolescents have pediatric mental health disorders, contributing to a projected worldwide economic burden of $6 trillion by 2030. In RI, approximately 19% of children under the age of 17 have mental health challenges that can adversely affect their development, education, peer relationships, and physical health. Sleep is an increasingly recognized contributor to mental health and well-being. In children, inadequate sleep has been linked to diminished mental and physical health. Exposure to greenspace, broadly defined as various forms of vegetation, has been shown to confer numerous health benefits. In this study, we propose to explore the association between exposure to greenspace and mental health outcomes in elementary school children. Aim 1. Sleep and greenspace. Determine how green space utilization (GPS-derived measures of daily activity and environmental features) is related to sleep (duration, timing, regularity) in children. Hypothesis 1.1 Children spending more time in greenspace as derived by GPS (i.e., utilization) will have earlier, longer and more regular sleep than children spending less time in greenspace. Hypothesis 1.2. Greenspace utilization will influence sleep through increased light exposure, higher levels of physical activity measured using accelerometry, and lower levels of stress measured by IL-1 beta. Aim 2. Mental health, greenspace and sleep. Determine whether greenspace utilization is associated with mental health and wellbeing via sleep behaviors. Hypothesis 2.1: Children spending more time in greenspace will have fewer mental health symptoms as measured by validated PROMIS® measures of anxiety, cognitive functioning, psychological stress and wellbeing compared to children spending less time in greenspace. Hypothesis 2.2: Greenspace utilization will influence mental health and well-being through sleep behavior (duration, timing, regularity) assessed using actigraphy. Aim 3. Exploratory Aim. Greenspace, epigenetics, sleep and wellbeing. Explore the potential epigenetic contribution of greenspace on sleep and wellbeing in children. Exploratory Hypothesis 1.1. Patterns of differential DNA methylation between high and low greenspace users may differ in genes associated with stress response, inadequate sleep, light exposure, or physical activity. We will work in Rhode Island, which is currently engaged in expanding access to tree-canopy across the entire state – a unique designation in the US. Thus, the health and policy implications of our study is timely, and can have implications for other states interested in exploring the use green space to improve health among children and their families.

世卫组织表示10％至20％的儿童和青少年患有小儿心理健康 疾病，到2030年为预计的全球经济伯恩（6万亿美元）做出了贡献。在RI中， 17岁以下的儿童中，大约有19％的心理健康挑战可以 不利地影响他们的发展，教育，同伴关系和身体健康。睡眠是 越来越认可的心理健康和福祉的贡献者。在儿童中，不足 睡眠与身心健康相关。暴露于greenspace， 广泛定义为各种形式的植被，已被证明可以使许多健康 好处。在这项研究中，我们建议探索暴露于Greenspace的关联 小学儿童的心理健康成果。瞄准1。睡眠和绿色空间。 确定绿色空间的利用方式（GPS衍生的日常活动量度和 环境特征）与儿童的睡眠（持续时间，时机，规律性）有关。假设 1.1儿童在GPS中花费更多的时间在GRENSPACE上（即利用率） 比儿童在Greenspace上花费更少的时间更长，更长，更常规的睡眠。 假设1.2。 Greenspace利用率将通过增加的光暴露来影响睡眠， 使用加速度测定法和较低压力水平测量的较高水平的体育活动水平 由IL-1β测量。目标2。心理健康，绿色空间和睡眠。确定是否 Greenspace利用与通过睡眠行为与心理健康和福祉有关。 假设2.1：儿童在Greenspace上花费更多的时间将具有更少的心理健康状况 通过验证的Promis®测量焦虑，认知功能的测量，症状， 与儿童在Greenspace中花费更少的时间相比，心理压力和福祉。 假设2.2：Greenspace利用率将通过 使用行为摄影评估睡眠行为（持续时间，时机，规律性）。目标3。探索性 目的。绿空间，表观遗传学，睡眠和福祉。探索潜在的表观遗传学 绿空间对儿童睡眠和福祉的贡献。探索性假设1.1。 高绿空间使用者之间的差异DNA甲基化模式可能有所不同 与压力反应，睡眠不足，暴露于光暴露或体育活动相关的基因。 我们将在罗德岛（Rhode Island）工作，该岛目前正在扩大进入树木的访问权限 在整个州 - 美国的独特设计。那，健康和政策 我们研究的含义是及时的，可以对其他有兴趣的州产生影响 探索使用绿色空间来改善儿童及其家人的健康。
