Dr. Kwong will present plans for an upcoming research project in Bangladesh that she is conducting on heat stress in collaboration with Alejandro Schuler (epi) and Carlos Duarte (Center for the Built Environment). The goal of the study is to 1) quantify heat stress among women of child-bearing age, men, and children in low-income, informal communities and pregnant women in rural communities and 2) test interventions to reduce indoor heat and reductions in heart rate variation associated with elevated heat. She looks forward to your feedback on how to extend the study and is excited to collaborate with others who would like to use the research platform to answer additional research questions.
