“…Four interventions established crisis counseling and psychiatric programs for mental health needs of individuals following a natural disaster [60][61][62][63]. Seven of these unique interventions encompassing multiple domains were conducted at the population level [30,33,[64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]. One example of an intervention spanning multiple domains is the Farmworker Family Health Program, [30] which serves migrant farmworkers in the Southeastern US in an attempt to decrease multiple negative health impacts related to extreme heat and changes in vector ecology.…”

Background: Climate change, the greatest public health threat of the 21st century, will uniquely affect rural areas that are geographically isolated and experience greater health inequities. This systematic review describes and evaluates interventions to lessen the effects of climate change on human health in the rural United States, including interventions on air pollution, vector ecology, water quality, severe weather, extreme heat, allergens, and water and food supply. Methods: Searches were constructed based on the eight domains of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Framework “Impact of Climate Change on Human Health.'' Searches were conducted in EBSCO Environment Complete, EBSCO GreenFILE, Embase.com, MEDLINE via PubMed, and Web of Science. Duplicate citations were removed, abstracts were screened for initial inclusion, and full texts were screened for final inclusion. Pertinent data were extracted and synthesized across the eight domains. Article quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results: Of 8,471 studies screened, 297 were identified for full text review, and a total 49 studies were included in this review. Across the domains, 34 unique interventions addressed: air pollution (n=8), changes in vector ecology (n=6), water quality (n=5), severe weather (n=3), extreme heat (n=2) increasing allergens (n=1), water and food supply (n=1), and interventions in multiple CDC domains (n=8). Participatory action research methodology was commonly used and strived to mobilize/empower communities to tackle climate change. Conclusion: Our review identified three randomized controlled trials, with two of these three published in the last five years. While original research on the impact of climate change on health has increased in the past decade, randomized control trials may not be ethical, cost effective, or feasible. There is a need for time-efficient and high-quality scholarship that investigates intervention efficacy and effectiveness for reducing health impacts of climate change upon rural populations.

“…Visualizations have also been used to establish design goals and modules and quantify the environmental, social, and economic benefits for CP based planning projects (Yang et al, 2020). Visualizations are especially beneficial to display the change in the built environment in an urban framework and how intervention in the built environment can impact climate change (Arnold et al, 2021).…”

Background and objective: Community participation or participatory planning are two terms used interchangeably that aim to incorporate community residents' opinions in the planning process to get the maximum benefit. This approach aims to gather stakeholders and engage them in a meaningful conversation to come to a decision representing the stake for everyone involved. This study focuses on the impacts of photorealistic visualization on community participation in the U.S. Great Lakes Region through a 5-year long (2017-2022) climate adaptation planning project conducted in Marquette County, Michigan, USA.Methods: Using the deliberation with analysis method of public participation, supported by visualizations, and followed by post-project surveys, the study explores how visualizations can improve in disseminating knowledge, bridging the gap of understanding among participants, enhancing engagement and delivering consistent approaches in the community decision-making process to come to a mutual ground of trust and common interest.Results: The study reveals that visualizations used at different phases of the community participation process increased participants' interest and engagement during the meeting, provided them with the necessary knowledge regarding climate change and its negative impact on health, and assisted them in decision-making and prioritizing design goals. The study also reveals that the visuals enhanced the project participants' engagement beyond the project's scope in future planning endeavors and increased their inclination towards climate and health adaptation planning.Conclusion: These findings will play a significant role in shaping the adaptive capacity in rural nonagricultural communities and strengthening the decision-making for similar areas dealing with climate change and its consequences.
