Abstract

BACKGROUND: Greenspace exposure is associated with lower depression risk. However, most studies have measured greenspace exposure using satellite-based vegetation indices, leading to potential exposure misclassification and limited policy relevance. We examined the association of street-view greenspace measures with incident depression in a prospective cohort of US women.
