Extreme heat preparedness and response implementation: a qualitative study of barriers, facilitators, and needs among local health jurisdictions in the United States.
Article in Environmental research, health : ERH, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Extreme heat events (EHEs) are the deadliest weather hazards in the United States (U.S.). Local health jurisdictions (LHJs) in the U.S. are frontline responders during EHEs and other public health emergencies. This study aims to clarify the factors influencing EHE preparedness and response implementation. From January to March 2023, we conducted and thematically analyzed four focus group discussions with 17 representatives from U.S. LHJs. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research was used to guide the discussion. Participants described barriers, facilitators, and needs surrounding extreme heat preparedness and response implementation. The focus group discussions identified four factors that influence EHE preparedness and response implementation: local conditions (environmental, political, planning); engaging communities and tailoring strategies; partnerships and relational connections; and available resources. Focus group discussions emphasized the need for EHE preparedness and response activities to be targeted and scaled to the unique climate, population, and needs of the implementing jurisdiction. Local conditions, community engagement, partnerships, and available resources shape LHJ priorities. The study emphasizes the need for scalable resources and comprehensive plans, and identifies research gaps to be addressed in the future.
