HUD's Healthy Homes Rating System (HHRS) is a modification of the English version, using scoring values developed in England. The goal of the HUD Three-City Healthy Homes Rating System (HHRS) study was to create a baseline of the prevalence and severity of 29 home health hazards in three cities-Detroit, MI; Greensboro, NC; and Alameda County, CA-and to compare the results to the prevalence and severity found in England. We analyzed 978 housing assessments over 3 years. Hygrothermal hazards (e.g., excess cold) were the most prevalent across the sites. However, significant differences in the type and severity of hazards across communities were found and were more severe in US sample homes than in their English counterparts. The results suggest that the tool shows promise in its ability to identify home health hazards.
美国住房和城市发展部的健康之家评级系统（HHRS）是对英文版的一种修改，采用了在英国制定的评分值。美国住房和城市发展部三城市健康之家评级系统（HHRS）研究的目标是建立密歇根州底特律市、北卡罗来纳州格林斯伯勒市和加利福尼亚州阿拉米达县这三个城市中29种家庭健康危害的发生率和严重程度的基线，并将结果与在英国发现的发生率和严重程度进行比较。我们在3年时间里分析了978份住房评估报告。湿热危害（如过度寒冷）在各个地点最为普遍。然而，发现不同社区的危害类型和严重程度存在显著差异，并且美国样本房屋中的危害比英国的同类房屋更为严重。结果表明，该工具在识别家庭健康危害方面显示出了潜力。
