Housing

Environmental Design Thesis (MEDes)--University of Calgary, 2012.

Looks at assessing the current status of water, sanitation services and health through the Arctic Council's Sustainable Development Working Group.

Results indicated that greater allocation of funding is not always going to produce the desired outcome of improved health benefits.

Statistics from Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley for the Indigenous population, men, women, seniors, youths, and those with health and medical conditions, followed by discussion of building awareness and education, and regional collaboration and innovation.

Study involved 317 individuals aged 18 years and older participated in baseline and follow-up evaluations (after 4 years) conducted in 2012-2013 and 2016. Showed association between incidence of subjective excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and less money left over at end of month, house in need of repairs, having water or dampness in the last 12 months, and damage caused by dampness.

Uses data from the 2012 Aboriginal peoples survey to assess several socio-demographic characteristics of Indigenous people living off-reserve and receiving income assistance (IA). Findings indicate that 12% of Indigenous people living off-reserve receive IA, and that receipt of IA is highly associated with precarity of work, being female, having less than a high school education, and having significantly poorer mental and physical health.

Project looked for correlations between poor indoor air quality and frequency of respiratory infections in children. This phase looked at whether installation of heat recovery ventilators, by providing more fresh air, would result in better health.
