Abstract
⺠Public Open Space (POS) quality appears significantly and negatively associated with psychological distress. ⺠Residents near medium or high quality POS have twice the odds of better mental health as those near low quality POS. ⺠POS quality appears to be more important for mental health than POS quantity. ⺠Residents may not need to use POS to benefit from it.
