The authors gathered baseline data on weather, water quality, and visits to the clinic for infectious gastrointestinal illness (IGI) in two communities in Nunatsiavut and analyzed this data to investigate associations between these variables. The study found significant positive associations between high levels of water volume input and IGI-related clinic visits, illustrating the need for high quality, temporal, baseline information to detect future impacts of climate change on human health.
