Overview

Observational analysis shows attendance increases with rising temperature in housing insecure individuals, suggesting specific climate factors impact healthcare access.

Key Points

  • Higher average temperatures on clinic days correlated with increased attendance among housing insecure individuals.
  • Statistically significant attendance rates were seen in warmer months compared to several colder months.
  • Precipitation did not significantly affect clinic attendance, highlighting temperature as a key factor.
  • Findings suggest that understanding climate effects can help allocate resources more effectively for vulnerable populations.
