The project integrates weather data from the Bureau of Meteorology and the ERA5 database to assess heat exposure during pregnancy. Factors such as three-day average temperatures, average temperature for the preceding 30 days, historical high temperatures, humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation are considered to evaluate heat stress. Multilevel mixed models, adjusted for covariates like cigarette smoking during pregnancy, parity, maternal age, and Aboriginality, will analyze the association between heatwaves or heat stress during pregnancy and health outcomes.
