Carbon cost of pragmatic randomised controlled trials: retrospective analysis of sample of trials.

28 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To calculate the global warming potential, in carbon dioxide (CO(2)) equivalent emissions, from a sample of pragmatic randomised controlled trials. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. Data source Internal data held by NIHR Evaluation, Trials ... Read more...

[Climate chance and research activity]

24 Oct 2009 There are three main focus areas relevant to health in research related to climate change: 1) disentangling of the complex associations between climate-sensitive risk factors and health 2) guidance as to where, when and how effective health ... Read more...

[Lifestyle and climate change]

24 Oct 2009 The majority of physicians are aware of the urgency of preventing major global warming, and of the global health consequences such warming could bring. Therefore, we should perhaps be more motivated to mitigate these climate changes. The Danish ... Read more...
