Description
Haakenstad and co-authors ask what keeps children indoors and what might lure them out, in a 2023 mixed-methods study. Time outside benefits children's bodies and minds, yet children of color get less of it — their neighborhoods often lack safe, welcoming green space. The study centers a racially and ethnically mixed population.
Fourteen focus groups gathered fifty outdoor educators, preschool parents, and community members, and forty-nine people answered a survey. Both streams probed barriers — safety fears, cost, time, distance — and candidate fixes, with answers compared across racial and ethnic groups. Knowing which barriers bite hardest for which families lets programs spend their effort where it frees the most play.
