Chronical Illness-related Limitations of the Ability to Cope With Rising Temperatures: an Observational Study in Germany and Italy, Third Wave (CLIMATE-III)

About This Trial

The CLIMATE-III Observational Study examines to what extent chronically ill patients experience adverse health effects because of heat and whether the patients' specific health behavior, somatosensory amplification, risk and benefit perception, self-efficacy, health literacy, and the degree of urbanisation of the patients' administration district are associated with these effects.
