Background: Extreme heat exposure is an increasing public health concern, particularly in the context of climate change. Limited research has explored its impact on children's cognitive outcomes. This study investigates the association between extreme heat exposure and cognitive function in 9-10-year-old children, using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study.

Background: Climate change has raised significant concerns about its impact on health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents. While extensive research has examined physical health effects, limited attention has been given to the influence of extreme heat on developmental and behavioral outcomes.
Objectives: This study investigates the association between extreme heat exposure and early puberty initiation (ages 9-10), using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study.

Household electrification is an important pillar of decarbonization in the US and requires the rapid adoption of electric heat pumps. Household energy models that project adoption rates do not represent these decisions well. To what extent are they limited by fundamental knowledge gaps, or is there scope to incorporate insights from the social science literature? We review the energy modeling and social science literature on heating equipment adoption to synthesize our understanding of adoption decisions, to identify best practices on representing decision-making behavior among energy models, and to suggest model improvements.

Introduction: As urbanization progresses and vulnerable populations increase, equitable accessibility remains a critical issue. This study evaluates the accessibility of transit-oriented development (TOD) in Shanghai, focusing on barrier-free facilities in metro stations.
Methods: A comprehensive evaluation framework combining the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the System Usability Scale (SUS) was developed to assess metro station accessibility.

Objective: This study examines the association between family economic decision-making power and survival outcomes among older adults.
Methods: Data were drawn from the China Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) from 2005 to 2018. Family economic decision-making power was assessed based on participants' self-reported influence over household financial matters, categorized as: "making decisions on almost all household expenditures", "deciding on non-essential spending", "only deciding on personal expenditures", and "having no decision-making power over household spending".
