The Climate and Health Tool (CHANT) is a 10-minute survey asking respondents about awareness, motivation, concern, optimism, and behaviors related to climate change and health. The items were developed in 2017 based on interviews with numerous content experts. It was psychometrically analyzed in 2018. The tool launched in 2019 with a focus on the world’s largest health profession, nurses, and expanded with the 2020 version to include all health professionals.
The survey is open continuously, and results will be analyzed regularly to learn how respondents’ perceptions and behaviors are changing over time. The survey is anonymous and voluntary. It is available for health professionals in any part of the world. It has been used by investigators in over 35 nations and translated into twenty languages.
We invite all health professionals to take the survey annually, and please share with others.
