    Abstract Urban tree canopies provide manifold benefits, such as: improved air quality, moderated temperatures, reduced storm water runoff, increased property value, reduced crime, improved visual aesthetics, and reduced health problems. Socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods often have many fewer trees than other neighborhoods. This mixed methods case study explored approaches to expand the participatory process in tree stewardship with residents from a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood in Washington, D.C. As a first step, we used semi-structured interviews to elicit residents’ experiences regarding nature and trees. We then built public-private partnerships to strategically convene multi-year tree planting efforts. We additionally performed targeted community outreach, developed a Tree Planting Challenge, and supported mural art to draw attention to the urban tree canopy. Ultimately, the mixed approaches resulted in more than 660 commitments to having free trees planted on properties in a matter of 12 months. We review these findings and discuss implications for future research into collective efficacy-building for a range of sustainability issues.

    Abstract Many hospitals face a common challenge: limited space for a high number of patients. This has led to quick patient throughput, which can impact patient perception of discharge readiness. This study examined whether a poster highlighting tasks to complete as part of the discharge process improved caregiver perception of readiness to transition home. Using a sequential, exploratory mixed methods design, focus groups were convened to explore clinical staff perspective on the discharge process on 3 pediatric inpatient units at a large, urban, pediatric academic medical center in the United States. Analysis of this content informed the design of a poster intervention to “nudge” caregivers (eg, parents, legal guardians) toward readiness and self-efficacy that was then tested in a randomized, controlled experiment. The poster focused on practical knowledge for specific areas of transition adjustment, such as medication and care recipient recovery behaviors, barriers, and enablers. Caregivers (n = 135) completed surveys at discharge indicating their perceived readiness to transition home with their child. Analysis of covariance was used to test the effect of the poster condition (poster vs no poster) on caregiver readiness, preparedness, and confidence for discharge while controlling for previous admission history. Significant effects for poster presence were found on caregivers’ perceived readiness for discharge, F 1,125 = 7.75, P = .006, Cohen’s d = 0.44; and caregivers’ perceived preparedness for the transition home, F 1,121 =7.24, P = .008, Cohen’s d = 0.44. Only a marginal effect was found for poster condition on caregivers’ confidence ratings, F 1,125 = 2.93, P = .090, Cohen’s d = 0.29. The results suggest that simple nudges in the patient care environment may yield measurable improvements in caregiver outcomes.
