About this study
Official title: Heat Adaptation Through Community-based Approaches and Research at SEACO: Structural and Behavioural Interventions
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if structural and behavioral interventions can mitigate the health effects of extreme heat in rural Malaysian communities. The study focuses on implementing cool roofs (a passive cooling system) and heat literacy education to improve heat adaptation behaviors. The study is funded by Wellcome (Heat Adaptation award - 226737_Z_22_Z)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- Does the implementation of cool roofs reduce indoor temperatures and related heat stress in rural households?
- Does heat literacy education improve community awareness and behaviors related to coping with extreme heat?
Researchers will compare four groups: one receiving both cool roofs and heat literacy interventions, one receiving only the cool roof intervention, one receiving only heat literacy education, and a control group receiving neither intervention. Participants will be asked to:
- Have their roofs painted with UV-resistant white paint (for cool roof intervention groups).
- Participate in educational sessions and training on heat-related health risks and coping strategies (for heat literacy intervention groups).
- Participants will undergo assessments at baseline (T0), first follow-up (T1), second follow-up (T2), and third follow-up/endline (T3). The T1 assessment occurs after completion of behavioral intervention and prior to the structural intervention.
- Wear a Garmin Vivosmart 5 sensor for two weeks during each data collection period to monitor heart rate, physical activity, and sleep patterns.
Read the detailed description
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of structural and behavioral interventions in mitigating the health impacts of extreme heat in rural Malaysian communities. Specifically, the study will implement and assess two interventions: cool roofs (a passive cooling system) and Behavioural (heat literacy) education. Cool roofs involve painting the roofs of selected households with UV-resistant paint to reduce thermal absorption, thereby lowering indoor temperatures. Heat literacy education aims to enhance community awareness and preparedness for extreme heat by providing training and educational materials on recognizing heat-related risks, illnesses and adopting personal cooling strategies.
Participants will be randomly selected from the SEACO health database, encompassing five operational sub-districts. Eligible participants include adults aged 18 years and above, living in single-story houses with suitable roofing materials. They will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: one receiving both interventions, one receiving only the cool roof intervention, one receiving only heat literacy education, and a control group receiving neither intervention. This 2 x 2 factorial design will allow researchers to compare the effects of each intervention individually and in combination.
Data will be collected at four time points: baseline (T0), first follow-up (T1), second follow-up (T2), and third follow-up/endline (T3). The behavioural (heat literacy) intervention will be delivered before T1. The structural (cool-roof) intervention will be implemented after T1. T1 evaluate effectiveness of behavioural intervention alone and the pre-structural assessment, while T2 and T3 represent post-structural follow-up assessments of all interventions (individually and combination).
SEACO data collectors will visit participants' homes to install SwitchBot heat and humidity measurement devices, conduct surveys, and take physical measurements. Participants will also wear Garmin Vivosmart 5 sensors for two weeks during each data collection period to monitor their heart rate, physical activity, and sleep patterns. We will also conduct the basic measurements such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose and HbA1c. The surveys will gather information on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, self-reported illnesses, heat exposure, heat adaptation behaviors, heat literacy, cooling strategies, self- reported sleep quality, mental health and quality of life.
The study aims to determine whether cool roofs and heat literacy education can effectively reduce indoor temperatures, improve heat adaptation behaviors, and ultimately mitigate the health risks associated with extreme heat. By analyzing data from each intervention and their combined effect, the research seeks to develop a theoretically informed, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive community-based heat adaptation program for rural Malaysia. This program could serve as a model for other climate-vulnerable regions, providing valuable insights into sustainable and practical approaches to addressing the health impacts of climate change.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Heat Literacy InterventionBehavioural
The behavioral intervention aims to improve heat literacy among participants through an 8-12 week education and training program. It includes four main modules: enhancing community awareness of hot weather, identification of high risk groups, recognizing and responding to heat-related illnesses, and teaching personal cooling strategies. Participants will use SwitchBot meters to monitor indoor temperature and humidity, access real-time weather information, and learn about heat wave warnings. They will receive educational materials, including infographics, videos, and one-to-one training from field staff. The content of intervention and delivery methods will be refined through co-design workshops with stakeholders and community members to ensure they are practical and culturally appropriate. The goal is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to protect themselves from extreme heat, resulting in better heat adaptation behaviors and improved health outcomes.
Structural (Cool Roof) InterventionOther
The structural intervention in this study involves implementing cool roofs to reduce indoor temperature and mitigate the effects of extreme heat in rural Malaysian communities. Selected households will have their roofs painted with UV-resistant paint, which reflects direct sunlight and reduces thermal absorption. This intervention aims to decrease the amount of solar energy absorbed by the roof, thereby lowering indoor temperature and reducing the physiological heat strain on residents. By maintaining cooler indoor environment, the cool roof intervention seeks to alleviate the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperature.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A (Cool Roof and Heat Literacy Interventions) | Active comparator | Cool roof intervention: Roofs will be painted with UV-resistant paint to reduce thermal absorption.
Heat literacy intervention: Participants will receive education and training on heat-related health risks and coping strategies.
Participants will receive the behavioural intervention after the baseline and prior to T1. The structural cool-roof intervention will be implemented after T1. Receives: Behavioral: Heat Literacy Intervention; Other: Structural (Cool Roof) Intervention |
| Group B (Cool Roof Intervention Only) | Active comparator | Cool Roof intervention: Roofs will be painted with UV-resistant white paint to reduce thermal absorption.
Participants will receive the structural cool-roof intervention after T1 assessment. Receives: Other: Structural (Cool Roof) Intervention |
| Group C (Heat Literacy Intervention Only) | Active comparator | -Heat literacy intervention: Participants will receive education and training on heat-related health risks and coping strategies.
Participants will receive the behavioural intervention after the baseline (T0) follow by T1 assessment. Receives: Behavioral: Heat Literacy Intervention |
| Group D (Control Group) | No intervention | No intervention will be provided, serving as a control group for comparison. Participants will not receive any intervention but will undergo assessments at T0, T1, T2, and T3. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Indoor Air Temperature
Assessed using an indoor data logger (SwitchBot) to measure air temperature within the household.
Measured: 36 months
Step count (Physical Activity)
Tracked using Garmin Vivosmart 5 sensors, recording steps and distance.
Measured: 36 months
Sleep Duration
This will be obtained using the Uppsala Sleep Inventory questionnaire which assess sleep duration.
Measured: 36 months
Glycaemic Control
HbA1c level which will be measured by the Hemocue® HbA1c 501 System.
Measured: 36 months
Secondary outcomes (6)
Depressive Symptoms
This will be assessed using the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) questionnaire.
The Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) assesses the severity of depressive symptoms based on 16 items. The scoring for the QIDS-SR16 is as follows:
Minimum possible score: 0 Maximum possible score: 27
A higher score on the QIDS-SR16 indicates more severe depressive symptoms, which means a worse outcome in terms of depression severity. Conversely, lower scores suggest fewer symptoms and thus a better outcome.
Measured: 36 months
Psychological Distress
This will be assessed using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) questionnaire.
The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) is a tool used to measure psychological distress. It consists of 10 items, each rated on a 5-point scale from "none of the time" (score = 1) to "all of the time" (score = 5).
Minimum possible score: 10 (if the participant scores "none of the time" for all 10 items).
Maximum possible score: 50 (if the participant scores "all of the time" for all 10 items).
Higher scores on the K10 indicate greater psychological distress (worse outcomes)
Measured: 36 months
Heat-related Symptoms
This outcome tracks the heat-related symptoms among participants, such as rash, oedema, sunburn, cramps, syncope, tetany and exhaustion. Data is collected through self-reported questionnarie. The goal is to identify any reductions in heat-related symptoms due to the interventions.
Measured: 36 months
Health-related Quality of Life
This outcome evaluates the overall well-being of participants using the EuroQol five dimensions of health (EQ-5D) questionnaire, which covers five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The assessment aims to determine how the interventions impact participants' overall quality of life and well-being. The minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 100.
Higher scores generally indicate better health outcomes, meaning that the person is in a state of better physical and mental health.
Lower scores indicate worse health outcomes or greater health problems.
Measured: 36 months
Indoor Thermal Comfort
Assessed using a visual analogue scale to measure current heat experience in the household rated on a visual scale from: Very comfortable, Comfortable, Just comfortable, Just uncomfortable, Uncomfortable, and Very uncomfortable. Minimum (1) to maximum (6). The higher score is the worse outcome.
Measured: 36 months
Heat Adaptation Practices
This outcome evaluates participants' adaptive behaviors during periods of extreme heat, highlighting measures taken to protect themselves and their communities from heat-related health impacts. The 18-item questionnaire evaluates heat adaptation practices using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree). Negatively worded statements will be reversed. Scores range from 18 to 90, with higher scores indicating higher adoption in heat adaptation practices, and lower scores indicating lower adoption in heat adaptation practices.
Measured: 36 months
