Study Summary

This research was designed with partners to determine differences in temperature exposures in urban and rural communities in Alabama. The investigators hypothesized that significant differences in temperature exposure exist between urban and rural settings. Time spent outdoors has been previously positively associated with greater physical activity. Built environment components in urban versus rural environments and ambient temperatures experienced during the summer may pose barriers to time spent outdoors. Persons with Type II Diabetes Mellitus may find it more difficult to overcome temperature barriers due to reduced thermoregulation capacity. This analysis will result in a more precise picture of temperature exposure as well as behavioral factors that may mediate exposure.

Primary Outcome
