1999-2000年，一个专业人员和研究人员小组对英格兰和威尔士住房改造的接受者进行了迄今为止规模最大的研究，以发现改造如何有效地实现了目标。调查结果表明，精心设计的适应措施对身心健康具有有益和/或预防作用;这些益处是长期的，不仅限于残疾人，还有助于其他家庭成员的健康。所提出的证据与其他研究的关键主题相联系，以详细追踪从不适应或不适应的住房导致身心健康不良的途径。这些主题，包括“家”的含义和“侵入”的概念，对于理解如何通过适应实现健康收益至关重要，对于关于住房与健康之间联系的更广泛辩论也是有益和相关的。
In 1999-2000 a team of professionals and researchers carried out the largest research study so far undertaken with recipients of housing adaptations in England and Wales to discover how effectively the adaptations had achieved their objectives. Amongst the findings was evidence that well-designed adaptations had beneficial, and/or preventative effects on both physical and mental health; that these benefits were long-term and that they extended beyond the disabled person to help the health of other family members. The evidence presented is linked with key themes from other research to trace in detail the pathways that lead from unadapted or badly adapted housing to mental and physical ill health. It is suggested that these themes, including the meaning of home and the concept of intrusion are vital to understanding how health gains may be achieved through adaptation, and are useful and relevant to the broader debate on links between housing and health.
