Environmental Health and Housing: Issues for Public Health

Synopsis

The second edition of Environmental Health and Housing has been completely updated to cover the contemporary issues in public health that have emerged in recent years. With a theory and practice approach to public health this edition focuses more on population health; health protection and improvement; and inter-agency approaches to effective intervention in housing and health through evidence based practice. It provides the ideal introduction to the area, covering policy and strategy in housing, housing and inequality, housing inclusion and the public health agenda. It provides a renewed focus on research into evidence based housing and health issues, which have become subject of growing international interest in recent years. It includes more case studies, ideas for reflective practice, and a greater emphasis on wider living environments and new legislation (Housing Act 2004 – Housing Health and Safety Rating System and Licencing; Housing and Planning Bill 2016). Essential reading for students studying health and housing topics, this book is also a useful reference for Environmental Health Officers and associated professions, including social workers, health visitors and building surveyors who need to understand the complexities of housing enforcement, policy and legislation and the relationships between housing and health.
