Extreme heat, green spaces, and mental health in people at clinical high risk for psychosis

  • Applicant: Maisie Khan
  • Project ID: 24-110

The UK is experiencing record-breaking high temperatures more frequently, but the impacts of extreme heat on mental health are under-investigated. This project aims to examine the effects of extreme heat events and air pollution on mental health outcomes, specifically looking at individuals at clinical high risk for developing psychosis. A further aim is to explore whether access to green spaces might mitigate these effects.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
