The Icy Path: Accounting for Weather in the Care and Support of Vulnerable Populations in the Home and Community

Gillian M Joseph, Nicole M Yantzi and Mark W Skinner

This short communication reviews an emergent body of qualitative health research into the connections between weather and care. It focuses on a series of recent Canadian studies that have examined the important yet underresearched every day, often taken-for-granted aspects of weather in the care and support in the home and community. It calls for governments, health care organizations, and service and support providers to recognize and account for the impacts that weather has on vulnerable individuals and care workers.
