Do I need a route? #7

Closed diatomsRcool closed 5 years ago

diatomsRcool commented 5 years ago

I have use cases where I need to describe exposure to tropical climates, famine, stress, etc. Would these sorts of exposures have a route?

cjgrondin commented 5 years ago

While exposure to tropical climates includes exposure to certain geographical elements as well as weather-related exposures, it's challenging to come up with a single exposure route. Famine might align with exposure to low socioeconomic status; no route there either Exposure to stress might depend on the type of stress (physical, mental, etc). Terms could be added to qualify or describe the exposures, but I can't think of an appropriate route. Did you have any in mind?

At this point I am not going to specify a route for these things. This may come up in the future, but for now I won't worry about it.
