Extreme Heat and Calls to Law Enforcement Related to Domestic Violence
In this cross-sectional study of the association between extreme heat and DV-related calls in New Orleans, DV-related calls were associated with extreme heat events, with the strongest associations observed during prolonged heat waves. These findings highlight the need to integrate climate adaptation with violence prevention strategies during such extreme heat events.
