- Health & Fitness
There are numerous ways in which population health could benefit if housing was improved in Australia.
Join host Gretchen Miller and guest Professor Rebecca Bentley as they discuss the many aspects of this social determinant of health including how poor housing quality can exacerbate chronic disease and mental health, housing security, and how to address the intersection of housing, urban design, and health policy.
Professor Bentley is an epidemiologist from the University of Melbourne’s School of Population and Global Health. She’s also the director of the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Healthy Housing, which is a member of the Collaboration for Enhanced Research Impact (CERI).
Established in June 2020, CERI is a joint initiative between The Australian Prevention Partnership Centre and associated NHMRC Centres of Research Excellence. We are working together to find alignment in the policy and practice implications of our work and to develop shared communications across our various projects and participating centres.
