Summary
This study looks at whether giving air conditioners to older adults in Boston who don't have them can reduce heat-related health problems. About 100 people aged 55-95 from certain Boston neighborhoods will take part. Some will get an AC unit and electricity help in the first summer, others in the second summer. Researchers will track heat stress, mental health, and how often the AC is used.
