Public awareness of climate change health risks is low. Healthcare professionals can bridge this gap by providing climate change and health counseling, improving patient health and advocating for policy change.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Health
- Public Health Communication
Background:
- Public awareness of climate change-related health harms is limited compared to the disease burden.
- Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are crucial in addressing this knowledge gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the role of HCPs in climate change and health communication.
- To emphasize the potential for HCPs to reduce patient vulnerability to climate change impacts.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing existing health communication frameworks.
- Integrating climate change and health counseling into routine healthcare settings.
Main Results:
- HCPs can effectively counsel patients on climate change health risks.
- Counseling can be delivered across various healthcare settings.
Conclusions:
- Advancing climate change and health communication by HCPs improves patient health outcomes.
- HCPs can influence climate change policy to protect future generations' health.
