The Other Half of Health – Part II: Housing

Our health is not just driven by what happens in a doctor’s office, or by our habits and behaviors, but also by the conditions in which we live, grow, work, and learn. Collectively these are called social and environmental determinants of health, and include education, income, employment, family and social support, community safety, air and water quality, and housing and transit.

The first session dealt with family and social support and this session, the second, looked at the intersection between housing and health.
