9.2 Methods
9.2.1 Literature Review
A systematic search strategy was used to identify published, peer-reviewed studies
that specifically examined relationships between biodiversity and mental health or
mental well-being outcomes. The literature search was conducted in October 2017,
following a replicable procedure (Koricheva et
al. 2013). Inclusion criteria (Box
9.2)
was identical to those used by Lovell et
al. (2014), except with a focus on literature
published (i) between 2013 and September 2017, and (ii) in any language. Thus, we
are building on, rather than replicating, the review by Lovell et al. (2014).
Literature was identified through structured searches of the Web of Science,
which identified 189 articles (see the Appendix for the search terms). One reviewer
[MM] initially screened titles and abstracts, with a second reviewer [DM] applying
the inclusion criteria to articles that needed a second opinion. Nineteen articles were
identified as eligible for full text review (see Fig.
9.1). Backward and forward refer-
ence searches (Cǒté et al. 2013) were conducted on these 19 articles. The resulting
1610 articles were first screened by year and title for eligibility, then abstracts were
read. This method identified an additional four articles, all from forward citations.
Backward and forward reference searches of these four articles resulted in an addi-
tional 242 references, which underwent a similar screening process. No new articles
were identified. Twenty-three articles underwent full text screening (by MM and
Box 9.2: Study Inclusion Criteria (Adapted from Lovell et
al. 2014)
1. Any peer-reviewed study, published between January 2013 and September
2017
2. Any recognised and reliable study design, with any population group, from
any country and in any language
3. An explicit consideration of biodiversity, species richness and/or a setting
protected because of its biodiversity, and
4. An explicit consideration of either a primary health-related outcome
including any self-reported or objective measure of mental health or men-
tal well-being, or a secondary health-related outcome including self-report
or objective measures of physical activity or self-report social cohesion.
Exclusion criteria: Studies were excluded if they did not assess (i) biodi-
versity and (ii) mental health, mental well-being, physical activity and social
cohesion related outcome measures. Studies assessing preferences, physio-
logical outcomes, use/visitation, the amount of green space without specifica-
tion of its biodiversity, or physical activity without identification of where it
occurred were excluded. Studies not reporting primary research (e.g. review
papers) were also excluded. M. R. Marselle et al.
