[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS pg1GR0x3. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the impact of relatively "green" or natural settings on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms across diverse subpopulations of children. Methods : Parents nationwide rated the aftereffects of 49 common after-school and weekend activities on children's symptoms. Aftereffects were compared for activities conducted in green outdoor settings versus those conducted in both built outdoor and indoor settings. Results : In this national, non probability sample, green outdoor activities reduced symptoms significantly more than did activities conducted in other settings, even when activities were matched across settings. Findings were consistent across age, gender, and income groups ; community types ; geographic regions ; and diagnoses. Conclusions : Green outdoor settings appear to reduce ADHD symptoms in children across a wide range of individual, residential, and case characteristics.
