标题： 量化SARS-CoV-2相关健康效应的探索性研究 在极端气候事件下 摘要： 这项新的支柱-1《健康影响研究》将评估 气候变化及其引发的极端天气事件对SARS- 与CoV-2相关的健康结果。有一种迫切和持续的需求 这样的评估是为了了解中国的复杂和复杂的影响 为新的SARS-CoV-2浪潮和未来的大流行做好准备。我们 建议开发地理空间模型，以确定新冠肺炎如何 传播风险、病例和死亡与气候事件直接相关 并因此量化空间异质性。这项研究还将 探索使用移动电话位置数据源识别行为 和经济变化。新的人类移动性、密度和可达性 将开发指标并进行统计测试，以衡量活动情况， 聚集行为、疏散和获取食物、医疗保健等 人类的行为和变化将再次整合到地理空间中 评估气候变化对健康的间接影响的模型。这个 气候事件的影响可能会对健康产生直接影响，但也 来自诱导人类聚集的反馈效应和减少 食品、医疗保健和其他基本业务的可及性。这个 拟议的研究将创新性地量化这些对公共健康的影响 危机。高度数据丰富和分类的研究方法也将 能够量化健康影响、社会和健康差距 面临着弱势和服务不足的人口。

Title: An Exploratory Research to Quantify SARS-CoV-2 Related Health Effects under Extreme Climate Events Abstract: This novel Pillar-1 “Health Effects Research” will evaluate the role that climate-change and its resulting extreme weather events have on SARS- CoV-2 related health outcomes. There is an urgent and ongoing need of such evaluation to understand the complex and compound effects in preparation for the new SARS-CoV-2 waves and future pandemic. We propose to develop geospatial models to identify how COVID-19 transmissions risks, cases, and deaths are directly related to climate events and therefore quantify the spatial heterogeneity. This research will also explore the use of mobile phone location data sources to identify behavioral and economic changes. Novel human mobility, density, and accessibility indicators will be developed and statistically tested to measure movements, gathering behavior, evacuation, and access of food, healthcare, etc. Such human behavior and changes will again be integrated into a geospatial model to estimate the indirect effects of climate change on health. The impact of climate events may have direct health consequences, but also feedback effects from the induced human gathering and reduced accessibility to food, healthcare and other essential businesses. The proposed study will innovatively quantify such effects of the public health crisis. The highly data rich and disaggregate research approach would also enable the quantification of health effects, social and health disparities faced by vulnerable and underserved populations.
