Cooler classrooms for kids in Bangladesh
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests ways to reduce heat inside primary school classrooms in Bangladesh to help keep children healthy during heatwaves. If it works, it could help schools find simple ways to protect kids from extreme heat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child attends a primary school in a climate-vulnerable district of Bangladesh.
- The school has a tin roof that is not too thin (more than 120 millimetres thick).
- The school does not already have heat-reducing measures like fans, coolers, or shaded roofs.
- Your child is between 7 and 14 years old.
- Your child does not have a pre-existing health condition (such as asthma or heart problems).
