It can feel lonely and daunting to see how climate change is hurting our patients and to have no idea how to help, said study author and fellowship leader Dr. Gaurab Basu.
Researchers found statistically significant improvements in several areas. For example, before the fellowship, just 50 percent of participants believed they could develop effective strategies to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on people's health. That number nearly doubled to 97 percent following the fellowship. Before the fellowship, just 37 percent of participants said they understood the principles of community organizing and how to put them into practice.
