Heat and Ozone in Metropolitan Environments: Assessing Indoor Risks (HOME-AIR) Study

Through the HOME-AIR study, I have investigated the joint effects of extreme heat (indoors and outdoors) and ozone on the health of elderly populations in Houston, Texas. 

​

We have recently published a conceptual and analytical framework for the HOME-AIR study here. Findings from our work on indoor heat and health among the elderly were recently published in Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP). Open access link.

Responding to extreme heat in the time of COVID-19

This project studies how perceptions and responses related to two concurrent hazards (e.g., extreme heat and COVID-19) may affect health risks in the United States. As such, this project focuses on extreme heat vulnerability and capacity at a household-level, placed within the larger context of the COVID-19 pandemic and explores the experiences, risk perceptions, behaviors, and coping self-efficacy of the U.S. population.

 

For this study, I am analyzing individual level survey data collected from three waves of data collection by Ipsos. Survey respondents are anonymized and data is collected nationally, and is representative of the U.S. population. Reports and findings are updated at the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf.io/xc73s/
