Stopped: Terminated due to an unusually cold and rainy summer. E.g. in Hamburg the average temperature between 16 July and 15 August 2023 was below 17°C. Collected data will be used to pilot study design and questionnaire. We plan to repeat the study in 2024.
The CLIMATE Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific efforts, somatosensory amplification, self-efficacy, health literacy and commitment to the GP, degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district and characteristics of the patients' neighborhood are associated with these effects.
