UGS accessibility and quality were evaluated using NDVI, GIS buffers, and on-site audits.AnalysisMultilevel linear regression and Sobel tests were employed to examine direct and mediated effects of UGS on mental health.ResultsUGS-level factors explained 18% of the variance in mental health. UGS accessibility (β = 0.285***), safety (β = 0.212***), and amenities (β = 0.220***) were positively associated with mental health. Social cohesion (Z = 2.82***) and physical activity (Z = 2.15**) partially mediated these relationships.ConclusionUGS enhances mental health in dense urban environments through both direct and mediated pathways. Subgroup analysis reveals that high and medium-quality UGS have more substantial positive effects through physical activity and social cohesion on mental health. In contrast, the impact of low-quality UGS's is minor and insignificant. Respondents with higher education and income benefit more from UGS on their mental health. Future research using longitudinal data or experimental designs could enhance the robustness of causation.","PeriodicalId":7481,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health Promotion","volume":"40 4","pages":"459-470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147589316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
