We explored whether urban American Indian (AI) caregivers who maintained a strong sense of cultural connectedness buffered their children from the negative effects of stress on mental health. A community sample of 161 urban AI children (91 girls) ages 8-15 years (M = 11.20 years) and their primary caregivers participated between 2016 and 2017. Caregiver cultural connectedness moderated associations among child stressful life events and increased anger (R = .13) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (R = .15). For caregivers with greater cultural connectedness, associations were attenuated and not significant. Higher hair cortisol was related to increased depressive (R = .11), anxiety (R = .10), and PTSD (R = .15) symptoms and was not moderated by cultural connectedness.

Though numerous studies acknowledge the critical role played by green spaces (GS) in bolstering sustainability in various dimensions, a majority of these investigations primarily center on the ecological aspect and urban environments. Due to the multifaceted benefits of GSs, different categories and expectations of these spaces can be identified across disciplines. Hence, no single method exists for evaluating the success of GSs in promoting sustainability due to the multifaceted benefits and variety of expectations.

We aimed to evaluate the extent to which mobile clinics were an appropriate and effective modality to deliver healthcare for populations living in the region.
