Study protocol for the Bio-HEAT study: Investigating the Biological pathways from HEAT exposure to preterm birth and other adverse maternal and child health outcomes in South Africa

2025-06-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction: </h4> Epidemiological evidence linking heat exposure to adverse maternal and child health outcomes is compelling. However, the biological and social mechanisms underlying these associations remain poorly understood. Understanding the pathways explaining these associations is important given rising global temperatures, and the urgent need for developing and testing adaptive interventions. Methods...
