Intervention

Target group: elderly, young children Aim: promote heatstress reducing behaviour Determinants:

Stimulate knowledge about heat
Increase risk perception about heat
Reduce barriers to heatstress reducing behaviour
Increase social cues to action

Use intervention functions:

Education
Convincing
Adjustment to environment
Facilitating
