| Psychological and social processes that connect health with housing come into focus in this collection of original papers. Eminent European and North American scholars address issues such as the link between housing design and mental health; housing as a form of "health capital"; health costs and benefits of owning vs. renting; the role of housing in the relationship between poverty and health; "doubling up" as a form of coping by poor households; stress experienced in providing health care to another adult in the home; and the ways that residence determines the distribution of stressful demands and opportunities for restoration in everyday life. Throughout, the authors indicate the relevance, for health, of residents' activities in relation to their housing, as well as the social ecological factors that set the boundaries for those activities. The authors also provide conceptual and analytical tools useful for further enhancing our understanding of the relations among housing, residence, and health. |
