Title: | Revisiting the relationship among housing tenure, affordability and mental health : do dwelling conditions matter? | Authors: | Park, GR Seo, BK |
Issue Date: | Nov-2020 | Source: | Health and social care in the community, Nov. 2020, v. 28, no. 6, p. 2225-2232 | Abstract: | Despite growing attention to housing as a social determinant of health, few studies have featured the interplay of its diverse impacts on health. Using the Korea Welfare Panel Study, this study used logistic regression analysis for examining how housing tenure and affordability are associated with depressive symptoms under different physical dwelling conditions among low-income households in Korea. In our findings, renters, compared with homeowners, were more likely to report depressive symptoms, and housing unaffordability was associated with a higher likelihood of having depressive symptoms. When dwelling conditions were considered, housing tenancy, compared with ownership, tended to be associated with depressive symptoms among adequate housing dwellers, whereas housing unaffordability was associated with depressive symptoms mainly among those living in substandard housing conditions. The findings suggest that the linkage of multiple housing problems to psychological well-being is dynamic. Public health policies and housing subsidy programs should, therefore, be designed based on a comprehensive account of not only tenure or income status, but also dwelling conditions. | Keywords: | Health and Social Services Health inequalities Housing |
