Omschrijving
Provides the ideal introduction to policy and strategy in housing, housing and inequality, housing inclusion and the public health agenda. Renewed focus on evidence based housing and health issues. Includes more case studies, ideas for reflective practice, and a greater emphasis on wider living environments and new legislation.
"The book is an easy read, but retains academic robustness. It covers a wide housing and health-related subject matter. It is a great source of reference material and provides some good strategic and historical oversight. The authors have had a challenging task, given the need to balance having sufficient content with not repeating other reference sources... Case studies bring a reality to the hard work and innovative practice taking place, and illustrate the art of the profession, which is the ability to be able to assess cause and effect and ensure resources are channelled in the direction of reducing the impact of cause... It highlights for me how important it is to maintain the profile and share good practice at every opportunity. I am sure that many colleagues will read the book and shout out loud, 'We do that' - but the difficulty comes with finding the time to provide evidence that can be scrutinised and to capture your work." Dave Arkle, Environmental Health News, June 2018
"Using an intersectoral lens, the publication reinforces the importance of an interagency approach that includes health protection and other social, municipal and health professions. Case studies are also incorporated, as well as a review of regulations and legislation that impact housing-related issues in the United Kingdom. This book can be useful to students and both emerging and mature professionals to inform public interventions on housing and health." National Collaborating Centre on the Determinants of Health
"Environmental Health and Housing is well documented and researched with detailed references throughout and includes extensive acknowledgements...This book is excellent for updating an experienced EHP. It is invaluable for the student to understand why housing is so important and how the EHP and their professional colleagues can contribute to improving people’s experience of house and home... Jill Stewart and Zena Lynch have produced an outstanding contribution to the environmental health profession." Tim Deveaux, independent environmental health practitioner and author
