Climate Change and Health: Examining the Intersection of Climate Change Risks and Health Equity

Researchers will analyze and compare publicly available data on climate disasters with county health outcome data in the United States. Investigators theorize that climate-related health outcomes will vary by county-level race/ethnicity and that communities with inequalities are more likely to experience worse exposures and outcomes from climate-related events. The project will further examine the influence of community disadvantages and climate on public health outcomes.
