Excited to share our new research exploring gender and environmental health in four flood-prone communities in Salvador, Brazil. The study examines exposure pathways to leptospirosis through perceptions of disease and high-risk behaviours, using a sex-disaggregated and causally informed approach.
Gender differences in Leptospira exposure risk, perceptions of disease severity, and high-risk behaviours in Salvador, Brazil: A cross-sectional study
Vulnerability to climate hazards and infectious diseases is not gender-neutral, meaning that men, women, and other gender identities experience different risks. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic climate-sen...

New paper out in @plosglobalpublichealth.org from EHG PhD student @elliedelight.bsky.social exploring how gender, perceptions of disease severity, and behaviours shape zoonotic spillover risk in urban Brazil.
