Communicating the impact of extreme heat on maternal, newborn and child health

HIGH Horizons, a project that studies the effects of extreme heat on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) is looking for examples of public health education messages used to raise awareness among pregnant and postpartum women, parents, families, and health workers about the risks of extreme heat exposure for MNCH.

In particular, the project is looking for messages used by:

  • Government institutions
  • Non-governmental organisations
  • Health services/ facilities or health workers 
  • Community-level programmes

Please send health education materials, communication materials or documents containing key health messages from national or global programmes to heathealthmessages@uni-graz.at by 16 May 2025.

They could be electronic copies of materials and documents (PDF or Word format), or links to websites where relevant messages or materials are available.

HIGH Horizons is an EU- and UKRI-funded project.
