项目摘要

SUMMARY – RESEARCH PROJECT This project will characterize intra-urban inequities in the effects of extreme heat on mortality and examine individual-level and neighborhood factors associated with these inequities in five cities of the Americas, one of the most urbanized and unequal regions of the world. Understanding these inequities is critical for the development of urban policies and practices aimed at reducing the inequitable impacts of climate change in diverse urban populations. The combination of high levels of urbanization and associated heat island effect, an aging population, and extreme levels of inequality and economic and racial residential segregation makes urban populations in the region particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. However intra-urban inequities associated with neighborhood and individual-level characteristics have not been systematically examined across multiple settings. A better understanding of how inequities in the impacts of heat on health vary across cities and countries is critical to adaptation policies and strategies and for targeting of resources. The overall goal of this project is to conduct policy-relevant climate change and health research across multiple countries in the Americas by studying inequities in the impact of extreme heat in five cities in four countries: Philadelphia (USA), São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Guatemala City (Guatemala), and Panama City (Panama). We will investigate both neighborhood and individual-level factors and disentangle equity impacts of differential exposure to heat and differential effects of heat using a novel approach we will develop in collaboration with the Research and Capacity Building Core. We will leverage expertise on health disparities, biostatistics, urban planning, and policy translation at the Drexel Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) and our partners in this project (UC Berkeley, INCAP, and University of São Paulo). We will accomplish the following aims: 1) estimate intra-city heterogeneity in the temperature-mortality association; 2) investigate associations of neighborhood social, built, and natural environment factors with differential heat impacts on mortality; and 3) study the differential impact of heat on mortality by age, gender, race/ethnicity, and education. We will contribute to the data infrastructure created by the Administrative Core, advance methods development and training in partnership with the Research Capacity Building Core, and coordinate engagement of policymakers with the Community Engagement Core. Specifically, we will develop dissemination and engagement strategies using the results of our research projects that will influence policy in the cities of interest but also inform future dissemination and engagement efforts. In addition, through this project we will refine an approach to between- and within- city analysis from multiple countries, and conduct cross-country multi-city comparative analyses that can be leveraged and expanded to multiple cities across Latin America and the US in future work of the Drexel Climate Change and Urban Health Research Center.

摘要 – 研究项目该项目将描述城市内极端高温对死亡率影响的不平等现象，并研究美洲五个城市（其中之一）中与这些不平等相关的个人层面和社区因素了解世界上城市化程度最高和不平等的地区对于解决这些问题至关重要。制定旨在减少气候变化对城市的不公平影响的城市政策和做法高水平的城市化和相关的热岛效应相结合，人口老龄化、极端不平等以及经济和种族居住隔离使得该地区的城市人口特别容易受到气候变化的影响。与邻里和个人层面特征相关的不平等尚未系统地得到解决更好地了解高温对健康影响的不平等。城市和国家之间的差异对于适应政策和战略以及资源定位至关重要。该项目的总体目标是跨多个领域开展与政策相关的气候变化和健康研究通过研究四个美洲国家中五个城市极端高温影响的不平等国家：费城（美国）、圣保罗和里约热内卢（巴西）、危地马拉城（危地马拉）和巴拿马城（巴拿马）。我们将调查社区和个人层面的因素并理清思路。我们将使用一种新颖的方法来区分不同股本暴露于热力的影响以及热力的不同效应我们将与研究和能力建设核心合作开发。德雷克塞尔城市健康合作组织 (UHC) 的差异、生物统计学、城市规划和政策转化以及我们在该项目中的合作伙伴（加州大学伯克利分校、INCAP 和圣保罗大学）我们将完成以下任务。以下目标：1）估计温度与死亡率关联的城市内异质性；2）调查邻里社会、建筑和自然环境因素与不同热影响的关联死亡率；3) 研究高温对不同年龄、性别、种族/民族和教育程度的死亡率的不同影响。我们将为管理核心创建的数据基础设施做出贡献，推进方法开发与研究能力建设核心合作进行培训，并协调参与具体来说，我们将发展社区参与核心的政策制定者。利用我们的研究项目的结果制定参与策略，这将影响以下城市的政策兴趣，同时也为未来的传播和参与工作提供信息。此外，通过这个项目，我们将完善来自多个国家的城市间和城市内分析方法，并进行跨国分析可以利用并扩展到拉丁美洲多个城市的多城市比较分析德雷克塞尔气候变化和城市健康研究中心未来的工作。
