Tailored text messaging to encourage health-protective behaviour during extreme heat in older Australians - A prototype and feasibility randomised controlled trial

2026-08-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Extreme heat increasingly threatens older adults, particularly those with chronic conditions, yet generic heat-health advice may not be sufficiently timely or relevant to individual needs. This feasibility study describes a prototype and assesses the feasibility of a location-triggered, disease-specific heatwave short message service (SMS) intervention tailored to common heat-vulnerability c...
