Evidence for action on cold, damp and mould in Australian homes [ 2/1/2021 - 1/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description We know that living in cold and damp homes is bad for people's health. Surprisingly in Australia we do not know how much exposure to poor conditions and financial hardship combines to generate poor health at the population level. We will quantify this impact and estimate the benefit of interventions (such as mould removal and assistance for paying utility bills). This project will provide governments with evidence for tackling this housing-related health problem.
