Very interesting paper! Uses huge multinational samples including in the UK, the UK biobank, as well as cutting edge analyses,- Gamms,- and a brilliant (continuous) measure of urbanity-rurality to look at location differences in mental health. Finds a nuanced and very useful picture!
How does where we live – urban, rural, or in-between – relate to our mental health? 🌆🏞️

Asking whether living in cities affects mental health is too simplistic.
In 500,000 adults, we find no universal urbanicity–mental disorder link.
Cities worldwide include very different living conditions & characteristics.
We need to identify which aspects of urban life harm or protect well-being
