Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
We expect to see a reduction in depressive symptoms (total score) of participants from pre to post-intervention, in the groups activities in the forest area and activity in a covered area. We also expect that this reduction will be greater in the forested area group than in the covered area activity group. We expect that the average score of participants on the waiting list will remain similar to the baseline after the intervention. These symptoms will be evaluated using the Brazilian version of the PHQ-9.
