Cooling vests for rickshaw drivers in Bangladesh
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether wearing a cooling vest helps rickshaw drivers who work long hours in the heat. If you drive a manual rickshaw most days, this trial may show if these vests can reduce heat stress and keep you healthier while working.
