Summary

This pilot trial tests an online decision support tool called Chart that helps local health departments assess heat-health risks and plan for extreme heat events. Thirty health departments will either use Chart or receive standard heat-health information. The study measures how well the tool improves planning and identifies barriers to its use.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Online decision support platform (Chart)
What this could lead to: If successful, this tool could help local health departments better protect communities during extreme heat events by identifying local risks and effective interventions.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The tool's impact depends on how well health departments adopt and use it.
