To evaluate self-reported changes in housing quality and health associated with housing-led area regeneration.
A prospective study over 1 year using structured interviews with 50 households who moved to new housing and with 50 matched controls who did not move.
Residents of two social rented housing schemes in the West of Scotland.
Small but not statistically significant increases in levels of "excellent" or "good" self-reported health status were found in both groups. Both intervention and control groups experienced reductions in problems related to warmth, but no significant change in how they felt about their house.
It is feasible to conduct prospective controlled studies to evaluate the health effects of housing improvement using matched control groups. The absence of marked improvement in health after moving to new housing might be due to the small sample size or to the limited potential to improve health through this intervention alone.
评估与以住房为主导的地区更新相关的住房质量和健康状况的自我报告变化。
一项为期1年的前瞻性研究，对50户搬入新住房的家庭和50户未搬家的匹配对照组进行结构化访谈。
苏格兰西部两个社会出租住房计划的居民。
两组中自我报告的“优秀”或“良好”健康状况水平均有小幅但无统计学意义的提高。干预组和对照组与温暖相关的问题都有所减少，但他们对自己房子的感受没有显著变化。
使用匹配对照组进行前瞻性对照研究以评估住房改善对健康的影响是可行的。搬入新住房后健康状况没有明显改善可能是由于样本量小或仅通过这种干预改善健康的潜力有限。
