Alejandro Mena Sánchez will share results from a statewide survey of 500 Floridians, which used cluster analysis to identify distinct social determinants of health. These clusters – based on income, education, occupation, race/ethnicity, and rural/urban status – revealed important differences in heat illness prevention behaviors and levels of trust in various information sources.

Astrid Ericson will present findings from a continuous response measurement study that evaluated the effectiveness of different video formats in communicating heat illness risk. Tested among U.S. crop workers, the videos were assessed for likeability and trustworthiness, offering insights into how to tailor health messaging for agricultural communities.

Join us to learn how data-driven approaches can inform targeted communication strategies and improve public health outcomes in the face of rising heat threats.

Dr. Angela Lindsey and Dr. Christa Court will discuss the Images of Recovery Project, a research initiative that aims to capture the recovery process in agricultural communities affected by recent hurricanes through photos submitted by the public. This project highlights the emotional, social, and cultural dimensions of disaster recovery, offering a powerful lens into community resilience. Presenters will also discuss Hurricane Helene’s impact on Florida, including disruptions to agriculture, infrastructure, and local economies. Speakers will share strategies related to hurricane preparedness, recovery, and resilience.

Registration is required.
