- Housing is a major pathway through which health disparities emerge and are sustained over time. However, no existing unified conceptual model has comprehensively elucidated the relationship between housing and health equity with attention to the full range of harmful exposures, their cumulative burden and their historical production. We synthesized literature from a diverse array of disciplines…September 2019Housing Discrimination, Social/Structural Determinants, Environment/Context, Healthy Housing, Racism
- The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends permanent supportive housing with Housing First (Housing First programs) to promote health equity for people who are experiencing homelessness and have a disabling condition. Evidence shows Housing First programs decrease homelessness, increase housing stability, and improve quality of life for homeless persons living with disabling…June 2019HIV, Healthy Housing
- Our work is based on the idea that health and education outcomes are intrinsically linked. We seek to improve these outcomes collectively and across multiple projects. We developed ETR’s Health Equity Framework to help us, and others, think about improving interrelated outcomes from multiple, overlapping perspectives.

Children, families, and marginalized adults face life course implications of housing insecurity, while communities struggle to address the extensive array of needs within heterogeneous homeless populations. Trends in homelessness remain stubbornly high despite policy initiatives to end…April 2019Environment/Context, Systemic Determinants

However, the next generation of international volunteers often operate under a conflicting duality: whilst many of their role models…June 2017Global Health
- The environmental and health consequences of climate change, which disproportionately affect low-income countries and poor people in high-income countries, profoundly affect human rights and social justice.

These consequences…November 2015Climate Change, Environmental Injustice
- In an op-ed piece in the New York Times on Wednesday, columnist Thomas Edsall opened with a pair of provocative questions: If its goal is to move up the ladder, where should a poor family live?

Concepts of education and health are developed and linked, and we review a wide range of empirical studies to clarify pathways of linkage and explore implications. Basic educational expertise and skills, including fundamental knowledge,…May 2015Advocacy, Communication
- Background: An inequitable distribution of parks and other ‘green spaces’ could exacerbate health inequalities if people on lower incomes, who are already at greater risk of preventable diseases, have poorer access.Methods: The availability of green space within 1 kilometre of a Statistical Area 1 (SA1) was linked to data from the 2011 Australian census for Sydney (n = 4.6 M residents); Melbourne…March 2014Social/Structural Determinants, Physical Environment, Access, Global Health
