This workshop will follow the format used in the previous workshops sponsored by the WG Residential Context of Health. Topics appropriate for this workshop include, for example, the role of behavioral, social, and cultural factors in shaping relations between housing and physical and mental health; ways in which housing policy can be coordinated with other social welfare policies to more effectively pursue public health objectives; emerging initiatives for the delivery of health care services in the home, and; particularly relevant to the theme of the Prague conference, relations between economic aspects of housing (e.g., tenure form, mortgage debt) and mental as well as physical health.
All enquiries about the workshop should be sent to Terry Hartig or Roderick Lawrence.
