Our Director @gwellenius was quoted in @outsidemagazine on the concerning underestimates of American deaths from #heat-related illnesses:
6,000+ annual deaths f/ #heat "is in the ballpark of something we should pay attention to,” says @gwellenius @BuClimateHealth.“It’s worth investing in better understanding: Who is at risk, when, and, importantly, what can we do about it?” @outsidemagazine

Excellent article highlighting the important and timely work on #ExtremeHeat and #Health being conducted by our partnering faculty and collaborators @AKWesselink @asansreason @PatriciaFabianS @MlsScammell @DarrenSun3 and Ian Sue Wing. Thanks @BUexperts!
#DYK: Extreme heat 🔥 can impact your mental wellbeing. In a @JAMAPsych study, @BUSPH researchers found the number of patients seeking #mentalhealth support at an emergency department (ED) in the United States went up during periods of intense heat. ➡️ spr.ly/6005MDqfv
ALT Summer days with extreme heat were particularly associated with increased rates of emergency department (ED) visits for childhood-onset behavioral and substance use disorders, anxiety and stress disorders, and mood disorders.
Our partnering faculty @AKWesselink on the elevated risks among #pregnant people during #ExtremeHeat:
"We know that exposure to extreme heat during the second half of pregnancy is associated with higher risk of preterm delivery, lower birth weight and stillbirth.”
Pregnant people have unique risks during extreme heat. @AKWesselink was interviewed by @jkutzie⬇️. She's also featured on @BUSPH Instagram speaking abt the connection between environmental & reproductive health, heat and pregnancy. Check it!
