During my internship at the VA Puget Sound, Seattle (2023-2024) I carried out an inquiry testing possible relations between characteristics of the built environment, reflected in part with a walkability index, and mental health in a Veteran population. The study is complete and the paper is under review. Stay tuned for more information!
