In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if structural and behavioral interventions can mitigate the health effects of extreme heat in rural Malaysian communities. The study focuses on implementing cool roofs (a passive cooling system) and heat literacy education to improve heat adaptation behaviors. The study is funded by Wellcome (Heat Adaptation award - 226737\_Z\_22\_Z) The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the implementation of cool roofs reduce indoor temperatures and related heat stress in rural households? * Does heat literacy education improve community awareness and behaviors related to coping with extreme heat? Researchers will compare four groups: one receiving both cool roofs and heat literacy interventions, one receiving only the cool roof intervention, one receiving only heat literacy education, and a control group receiving neither intervention.
