An Exploratory Study of Perspectives from Forest Therapy Guides in a Wildfire Affected Community.

This dataset is the product of 11 semi-structured interviews with members of a cohort of forest therapy guides who were part of a community recovery pilot program created after the 2018 Camp Fire in Butte County, an area of Northern California that is increasingly impacted by severe wildfires. The research explored if and how forest therapy can serve as a trauma-informed approach to disaster recovery. Interviews lasted between 46 and 81 minutes and took place between October 14, 2021 and January 4, 2022, via Zoom. Eleven of the fourteen forest therapy guides who were certified as part of the pilot program at the time were interviewed. Interview transcripts have not been made public because complete de-identification is not possible, due to the small study population sample and the personal nature of the conversations. This data publication includes the analytic matrix, which contains summarized, de-identified data from the individual interviews used for analysis. The key informant interview guide has also been shared, along with the documentation of University of Washington’s Human Subjects Division exempt determination.

本数据集源自针对某队列森林疗法指导师的11次半结构化访谈（semi-structured interviews）。这些指导师均参与了2018年加州北部巴特勒县（Butte County）坎普野火（Camp Fire）后设立的社区恢复试点项目——该区域正日益遭受严重野火的冲击。本研究旨在探究森林疗法能否以及如何作为一种创伤知情方法（trauma-informed approach）应用于灾后恢复工作。访谈时长介于46至81分钟之间，于2021年10月14日至2022年1月4日期间通过Zoom平台开展。当时参与该试点项目并获得资质的14名森林疗法指导师中，共有11人接受了本次访谈。由于研究样本量较小，且访谈内容带有较强的个人属性，无法实现完全的去标识化，因此访谈转录文本未对外公开。本数据集出版物包含分析矩阵（analytic matrix），其中收录了用于分析的单份访谈的汇总去标识化数据。本次公开内容还包括关键知情人访谈指南（key informant interview guide），以及华盛顿大学（University of Washington）人类受试者事务部的豁免认定文件。
