Guillaume Chevance, PhD Presentation: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context
2021-10-07 11:00 - 13:00
On October 7th at 11am, Dr. Guillaume Chevance will give a Grand Rounds presentation on: Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context.
Human activities have changed the biosphere so profoundly over the past two centuries that human induced climate change is now posing serious health-related treats to the current and future generations. Rapid actions from all scientific fields are needed to contribute to both the mitigation and adaption to climate change. This presentation will discuss the bi-directional associations between climate change effects (i.e., rising average temperatures, natural disasters, air pollution, rising sea level) and health-related behaviors, as well as a set of key actions/propositions for the behavioral medicine community.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Guillaume Chevance has a background in sport sciences. He received his PhD in Human Movement Sciences from the University of Montpellier (France) in 2017. The objective of his thesis was to understand the role of specific motivational factors in the adoption and maintenance of an active lifestyle during and after rehabilitation programs. After his PhD, Dr. Chevance started a postdoc at the University of California San Diego (US) in a team interested in the design of eHealth interventions, and notably recognized for their applications of control system engineering methods to the development of apps supporting behavior change. Dr. Chevance then joined ISGlobal (Barcelona, Spain), a leading European institution in Global/Planetary Health, in October 2020 as a tenure-track assistant research professor and head of the eHealth group. He is interested in the dynamics of health behavior change in the context of climatic changes. For that purpose, he uses digital technologies (i.e., accelerometers, smartphones, mobile apps, online datasets) to better understand, and sometimes influence, what is going on in our daily lives.

Hi Everyone – This month we have two special guests! First we’ll hear from Liani Eccles, a DNP-PMHNP student at the University of Arizona. As part of her DNP project she is educating nurses on the current research on PFAS exposure and autism.

Then we’ll hear from Sarah Bucic, an amazing nurse advocate who is currently working for ANHE on advocacy around the Build Back Better budget and the infrastructure package. She’ll help us untangle these complex pieces of legislation, talk about how ANHE has been engaging, and provide examples of how you can be involved around these bills.

Hope you can join us!

Title: Effects of drought and airborne dust on childhood asthma in Imperial County, CA
The Imperial Valley region of Southeastern California is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the state and has the highest rates of childhood asthma in California. The lack of precipitation in the Imperial Valley has caused the water level of the Salton Sea to recede to a record low in the modern era. The diminishing water level in an already-arid climate pose a risk of exposing previously-sequestered toxic chemicals to open air, which can adversely affect lung health. Future droughts and heatwaves are expected to rise in frequency and severity, disproportionately affecting those impacted by financial and health disparities. The current research uses meteorological techniques to determine the extent to which airborne dust from the Salton Sea is responsible for the increased rate of pediatric emergency department visits due to asthma complications.
