Housing Experiences and Outcomes of an Understudied Urban Population

在这个项目中，pi使用访谈和采访者辅助调查来扩展我们对未充分研究的城市人口中租房者、房主和无住房者的住房的了解。调查了几个研究问题，包括这一群体的成员如何经历租房、住房所有权和无家可归，以及这些经历如何影响他们的社会经济和健康结果。该研究的更广泛影响包括研究结果对有关这一人口的住房决策的直接适用性，以及该项目为研究生和本科生提供的教育和培训机会。该项目建立在现有伙伴关系的基础上，对未充分研究的城市人口的住房经验以及社会经济和健康结果进行混合方法研究。使用的方法包括对1000名城市居民的调查和对80名调查受访者的纵向定性访谈。四个一般的研究问题进行检查。这些问题涉及这一人口的住房经历如何变化，这一人口的成员如何与邻居和房东互动，他们处理住房问题的方法，以及他们的住房经历如何影响他们的健康和社会经济结果。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

In this project, the PIs use interviews and interviewer assisted surveys to expand our knowledge related to the housing of renters, homeowners, and unhoused people from an understudied urban population. Several research questions are investigated including how members of this population experience renting, homeownership, and houselessness and how such experiences shape their socioeconomic and health outcomes. Broader impacts of the research include the direct applicability of findings to housing decisions concerning this population, and the educational and training opportunities the project provides to graduate and undergraduate students. This project builds on an existing partnership to conduct a mixed-methods study of the housing experiences and socioeconomic and health outcomes of an understudied urban population. Methods used include a survey of 1,000 urban residents and longitudinal qualitative interviews of a subsample of 80 survey respondents. Four general research questions are examined. These concern how the housing experiences of this population vary, how members of this population interact with neighbors and landlords, the methods they use to deal with housing issues, and how their housing experiences affect their health and socioeconomic outcomes.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
