- Abstract
ASTHO is helping states prepare for the possibility of health effects related to climate change in the same way they prepare for the possibilities of bioterrorism and natural disasters. Recent programs have looked at possible health risks from increased heat, changes in vector-borne disease patterns, and transmission of waterborne diseases.
