Climate change health effects

PROJECT DATE: to

The physical and mental health impacts of climate change-related exposures, such as extreme heat and wildfire smoke, are not yet well understood. Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), we examine disparities in health outcomes and adaptive responses to climate hazards. This work aims to identify at-risk communities, inform public health interventions, and support policy efforts that enhance climate resilience and health equity.
