What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Aug 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
