A team of researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has received a $2.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the effects of climate change on mental health. The study will focus on Alaska Native communities, which are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The researchers will use a variety of methods to collect data, including surveys, interviews, and focus groups. They will also use satellite imagery and other data to track changes in the environment. The study is expected to provide valuable insights into the mental health effects of climate change and help develop interventions to address these effects.
