  • Rent increases and mental health among low-income renters in Australia

    Open AccessKate Mason, Enrique Martino et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    Regulation of within-tenancy rent increases is weak in Australia. While links between unaffordable and insecure housing and poor mental health have been established, the mental health burden of landlord-imposed rent increases - which represent a specific type of housing shock - has not been examined empirically. We used fixed-effects regression analyses of 9808 observations (from 3604 individuals) to investigate the relationship between within-te…

  • Climate-related healthy housing risk factors

    Open AccessAdelle Mansour, Maria Rosa Gatto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2025

    The profound effects of climate change jeopardise the ability of housing to protect human health and wellbeing. Citizen science, with its potential for generating data and engaging individuals and communities in action, is an important addition to the suite of tools needed to prepare our housing for this reality. Our scoping review assessed how citizen science approaches have been used to identify and address climate-related housing risk factors …

  • Urban density, household overcrowding and the spread of Covid-19 in Australian cities

    Open AccessSrikantha Herath, Adelle Mansour et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2024References: 3

    The UN-Habitat World Cities Report 2020 highlighted that overcrowded housing, not urban density, is the major contributing factor to the spread of COVID-19. The relatively successful ability of densely populated cities such as Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo and New York City to manage virus spread supports this. We hypothesise that, given the complexity of the interaction between people and place, the relative contribution of density and crowding to the…

  • Housing Vulnerability and Covid-19 Outbreaks

    Enrique Martino, Adelle Mansour et al.ARTICLEUrban Policy and Research2023

    When communities face infectious disease outbreaks such as COVID-19, their resilience is largely dependent on their social vulnerability. Housing, which functions as a precipitator and outcome of vulnerability, needs to be considered in this context. Using geospatial data, we developed a housing vulnerability index which demonstrates that COVID-19 transmission hotspots in Melbourne are potentially related to where and how people live – which in t…

  • Green and blue spaces, Covid-19 lockdowns, and mental health

    Open AccessAng Li, Adelle Mansour et al.ARTICLEHealth & Place2023Cited by: 2References: 1

    Australia experienced some of the world's longest and most stringent lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. While lockdown measures had consequences for mental health, investigation is lacking on the potential for green and blue space coverage within people's local environments to ameliorate the impact of lockdowns with varied lengths using longitudinal cohorts. This study examined the impact of lockdown durations on population mental health and…

  • Housing and health

    Adelle Mansour, Rebecca Bentley et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2022Cited by: 3References: 54

    Recent crises have underscored the importance that housing has in sustaining good health and, equally, its potential to harm health. Considering this and building on Howden-Chapman’s early glossary of housing and health and the WHO Housing and Health Guidelines, this paper introduces a range of housing and health-related terms, reflecting almost 20 years of development in the field. It defines key concepts currently used in research, policy and p…
