Abstract
Background
The socio-ecological model (SEM) is a widely used framework that can be applied to heat-related illness (HRI) in the context of multiple influencing factors that exist in society. Leaders and policymakers must intervene to mitigate the deleterious effects of climate change on those at risk.
Purpose
The purpose is to introduce the SEM as a framework to address the complex factors contributing to the impact of excess heat.
Methods
Conceived through the SEM, the compounding and cumulative impact of excess heat resulting in HRI is operationalized.
Discussion
The SEM provides a structure for understanding the complex nature of climate change and HRI and proposed interventions. The prevention of HRI is dependent on actions, related to practice, education, research, and advocacy across multiple levels of the SEM. The SEM has the potential to target HRI at all levels of society to reduce the harm of excess heat.
