Constancy and Change: Key Issues in Housing and Health Research
This article by Roderick J Lawrence in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health highlights the low impact of scientific research on the relations between housing and health during the last 30 years.
In turn, there has been too little accumulation and validation of knowledge across the sectors over the last three decades and, the lack of coordinated research agendas, has resulted in a poor evidence base. As a result, there is a need for greater systems thinking for the integration of knowledge and know-how of researchers, policy makers, and professional practitioners working across housing and health.
