Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Based on a review of international climate change and health information websites, this study aimed to suggest policy directions that should be considered when developing online platforms to provide information on the health impacts of climate change.
Methods: This study searched for websites that provide information about climate change and health, focusing on the operation and structure of international websites in the United States, European Union, and websites of international organizations. Nine websites were included in the analysis.
Results: The international websites analyzed in the study were designed and operated with a focus on ensuring easy user accessibility. These platforms maintained an appropriate number of top-level menus (with an average of 5.33 menus) and menu depths ranging from one to three levels. Additionally, these websites supported keyword search functionality and global navigation systems, which enhanced the provision of user-friendly information. Furthermore, images were effectively utilized to illustrate diseases and health impacts associated with climate change. Notably, certain websites also featured information tailored to groups vulnerable to the impact of climate change, including children.
Conclusion: Establishing a systematic and organized online platform that can efficiently and conveniently provide climate change and health information is essential.
