Climate drivers of water-related disease
Climate change disrupts water systems in two opposite directions, and a third mechanism operates across both. Select each pathway below to explore the mechanisms and associated diseases. Clinical pearl Rural Washington state has a high proportion of households reliant on private wells, making flooding-driven well contamination a clinically important local risk. Warming freshwater temperatures are […]
Introduction to water- and food-related impacts
This module focuses on two of the key climate exposure pathways in your planetary health curriculum: Water systems and food systems. The environmental justice lens from your Introduction to planetary health session carries forward into this module, as does the planetary boundaries framework. Your Extreme weather hazards module covered flooding as an acute disaster. This […]

The use of interim analysis during a randomized controlled trial
In this MEDSCHLR 500, we will discuss the findings from the HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) 052 trial, which showed that antiretroviral therapy (ART) prevented more than 96% of genetically linked infections caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Learning goals Describe the use of interim analysis during a clinical trial Describe the function […]
