I add one study about recovery activity and its result. |

Line 5:
The use of the concept in [[mental health]] emerged as [[deinstitutionalization]] resulted in more individuals living in the community. It gained impetus as a [[social movement]] due to a perceived failure by services or wider society to adequately support [[social inclusion]], and to studies demonstrating that many people do recover. A recovery approach has now been explicitly adopted as the guiding principle of the mental health or substance dependency policies of a number of countries and states. In many cases practical steps are being taken to base services on a recovery model, although a range of obstacles, concerns and criticisms have been raised both by service providers and by recipients of services. A number of standardized measures have been developed to assess aspects of recovery, although there is some variation between professionalized models and those originating in the [[psychiatric survivors movement]].
According to a study, a combined social and physical environment intervention has the potential to improve the need for recovery. However, the study's general healthy and well-functioning population made it challenging to have a significant impact. The researchers recommended implementing the intervention among a population with higher baseline values on need for recovery and providing physical activity opportunities, such as organizing lunch walking or yoga classes at work. Additionally, integrating a social media platform strategically with incentives for regular use, linking to other platforms such as Facebook, and implementing more drastic physical interventions, such as restructuring an entire department floor, may be necessary for improving the intervention's effectiveness. The study concluded that the relatively simple environment modifications used, such as placing signs to promote stair use, did not result in changes in need for recovery.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Coffeng |first=Jennifer K. |last2=Boot |first2=Cécile R.
