Can photos and education help outdoor workers beat the heat and breathe easier?

NCT ID NCT07713264

First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a program that combines education on heat and air quality risks with a photovoice activity—where workers take photos and discuss their experiences—can help outdoor workers in California feel more empowered and engaged. About 50 outdoor workers and community members will be randomly assigned to either receive only educational materials or also participate in the photovoice program. Researchers will measure changes in self-efficacy, social cohesion, and community involvement over six months.
