Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Nature Nook + Nature CoachExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This is a combined arm: a place-based intervention (Nature Nook) and a person-based intervention (Nature Coach).
Group II: Nature NookExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Nature Nook builds on our prior work with a standard vacant lot greening intervention involving: removing trash, grading the land, planting new grass and trees, installing a low wooden perimeter fence, and regular maintenance. This greening intervention was designed as a blight removal strategy. People in this arm receive no intervention.
Group III: Nature CoachExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The Nature Coach intervention, developed in a prior study (NCT04146025), will be delivered to people in their homes. Participants will live in the blocks immediately surrounding the study vacant lots randomized to this arm. The lots in this arm receive no intervention.
Group IV: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
The study lots randomly selected for this arm, as well as the participants living near them, receive no intervention.
