A CACHE Pre-PAA Workshop in St. Louis, Missouri on May 6, 1-5:30pm CT: Measuring Heat for Use in Population Research
So many questions arise when trying to measure heat as a health exposure – let CACHE help! Heat is one of the most frequently examined environmental influences on population health, and a wide variety of data sources exist to measure exposure. This CACHE sponsored workshop provides an overview of heat measures and examples of two, including hands-on experience with code available via the CACHE website. Participants will generate temperature exposure measures from publicly available data, as well as wet bulb temperatures. The Universal Thermal Climate Index data will also be demonstrated and linked to population data. Learn more here.
