Effects of projected increases in heat exposure on linguistic development in two-year-old children: A longitudinal modified treatment policy analysis
Our study revealed a negative impact of increased air temperatures on the linguistic development of 2-year-old children in counterfactual scenarios involving two- and three-degree temperature rises. The longitudinal modified treatment policy approach offers valuable new insights for causal inference in environmental epidemiology, particularly through its ability to directly assess the effects of anticipated, policy-relevant temperature changes.
