Unlabelled: While there is evidence that access to nature and parks benefits pediatric health, it is unclear how low-income families living in an urban center acknowledge or prioritize access to parks.
Methods: We conducted a study about access to parks by pediatric patients in a health system serving low-income families. Adult caregivers of pediatric patients completed a survey to identify and prioritize unmet social and economic needs, including access to parks.

Article Synopsis
- Many individuals with obesity struggle with overeating, which complicates their efforts to lose weight, particularly due to reward-driven eating and psychological stress.
- Mindfulness training may help by enhancing awareness of hunger signals and reducing stress, potentially leading to more effective weight loss strategies.
- The SHINE trial found that mindfulness training significantly reduced reward-driven eating, which was linked to weight loss at the 12-month mark, although the effect diminished by 18 months, and psychological stress did not appear to influence weight loss outcomes.
There are currently no commonly used or easily accessible 'biomarkers' of hedonic eating. Physiologic responses to acute opioidergic blockade, indexed by cortisol changes and nausea, may represent indirect functional measures of opioid-mediated hedonic eating drive and predict weight loss following a mindfulness-based intervention for stress eating. In the current study, we tested whether cortisol and nausea responses induced by oral ingestion of an opioidergic antagonist (naltrexone) correlated with weight and self-report measures of hedonic eating and predicted changes in these measures following a mindfulness-based weight loss intervention.
