Piloting a Nature-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program on Participants with Depressive Symptoms_A Randomized Control Trial

The data is collected amongst Chinese adults with depressive symptoms. Two experimental groups have been generated, one receiving indoor CBT and one receiving nature-based (outdoor) CBT. Both programs were of 8 sessions. It is to explore whether the nature-based CBT is superior than the indoor CBT in bringing the healing effect. Measurements include Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Dysfunctional Attitude Scale and its subscales, and Connectedness with Nature. Data of pre program, 1 month post, and 6 months post were collected.
