In this Inside Housing webinar – run in association with Aico as part of the Healthy Homes campaign – Faye Sanders, doctoral researcher at the University of Bath, discusses the gaps, challenges and opportunities in housing and health data.
Learners will explore what data informs current knowledge on how someone’s home affects their well-being, the limitations of current data and where a lack of data currently makes it difficult to draw confident conclusions.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the webinar, those attending will be able to:
- Describe what is currently known about the relationship between housing and health
- Detail which data sources currently inform what we know, and how researchers have used these sources – including describing recent papers on the relationship between poor-quality housing and depressive symptoms and between housing quality indicators and depression in women
- Describe the limitations of the data available at present
- Explain which data is simply not available, and detail how this affects our knowledge of the relationship between housing and health
- Give a sense of how the availability of data might be increased, including descriptions of which information it might make most sense to prioritise in the first instance
- Describe what role social landlords could play in expanding availability of data, and the challenges they may face in doing so
