Understanding how climate change affects infectious diseases and health equity.
Center for Transformative Infectious Disease Research on Climate, Health and Equity in a Changing Environment (C-CHANGE)
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · CORNELL UNIVERSITY · NIH-10982888
This study looks at how climate change affects the spread of infectious diseases and works with communities to understand how our environment and behaviors play a role, so we can create better ways to prevent outbreaks and keep everyone healthier.

What this research studies
This research investigates the impact of climate change on infectious diseases, focusing on how environmental and social factors contribute to disease outbreaks. By collaborating with communities, the project aims to gather data on human behavior, animal health, and climate conditions to develop predictive models for disease spread. The research will also explore preventative interventions to mitigate these risks, emphasizing a proactive approach rather than just responding to outbreaks. Patients may benefit from improved public health strategies and interventions that arise from this comprehensive understanding.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit include individuals living in areas vulnerable to climate-related infectious diseases, such as malaria and other vector-borne diseases.
Not a fit: Patients who are not affected by infectious diseases or do not live in regions impacted by climate change may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better prevention and management of infectious diseases influenced by climate change, ultimately improving public health outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown success in using community-engaged approaches to understand and mitigate the effects of climate change on health, indicating that this approach is promising.
