Table 5. Screening and tagging criteria for supervised machine learning.

For a document to be included, it must meet all inclusion criteria for at least one tag. Tags are not mutually exclusive. Details of inclusion and exclusion screening and tagging criteria are provided in the Extended data (SM1) 26 .

Inclusion Exclusion Tag (for
included
articles only)
Includes substantial focus and empirical data (qualitative or
quantitative) or secondary analysis of data on a climate-related
driver of impacts,
AND
Includes substantial focus and empirical data (qualitative or
quantitative) or secondary analysis of data on a perceived 1 ,
experienced, or observed eligible 2 health-related outcome or
health system
Does not include an eligible climate-related
driver of impacts, or a health-related
outcome or health system.
OR
Does not include empirical data for both of
the above.
OR
Consideration of climate drivers and/or
health outcomes is a minor or tangential
component of the document
Impacts
OR
Includes empirical data (qualitative or quantitative) or
secondary analysis of a driver of climate change, OR secondary
analysis of a mitigation or energy production/efficiency
measure
AND
Includes substantial focus or consideration of a perceived,
experienced, or observed impact on an eligible health-related
outcome or health system
Reference to a driver of climate change,
mitigation, energy production or efficiency
is not accompanied by relevant empirical
data and/or analysis.
OR
There is no reference to impacts on eligible
health-related outcomes or health systems
OR
The document focuses on emissions within
the healthcare sector with no consideration
of impacts on health.
Mitigation
OR
Includes substantial focus (documenting and/or empirically
assesses) a human response ( adaptation) to perceived,
experienced, or observed impacts on eligible health-related
outcome or health system
Document focuses on potential or planned
responses to the health impacts of climate
change.
OR
Responses (adaptations) are not relevant to
human health (e.g. conservation measures)
OR
Responses (adaptations) that are not clearly
linked to eligible health-related outcomes
or health systems (e.g. general resilience
activities)
Adaptation

1 Perceived impacts are based on the perspective of the study (authors and/or respondents). For example, households or governments might undertake adaptation in response to the perceived risk of flooding, regardless of whether flooding in that context has been attributed to climate change or is expected to increase under climate change projections.

2 Eligible health-related outcomes are described in the Extended data (SM1) 26 .
