Non Technical Summary
Housing impacts health, welfare, and safety. "A healthy home is sited, designed, built, renovated, and maintained to support health. A healthy homes approach is a coordinated, comprehensive, and holistic approach to preventing diseases and injuries that result from housing-related hazards and deficiencies" (CDC, n.d.). Healthy housing embodies concepts found in both the built and near environment. The seven principles of healthy housing as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)include: Keep it (1)dry, (2)clean (3) pest free (4)safe (5) contaminant free (6) ventilated and (7)maintained. Within these categories, topics rangefrom disease vectors and pests to water quality issues. For example,the identification and prevention of asthma and allergy triggers in the home environment is just one illustrationof theconnection between home and health.Other Federal agencies including but not limited to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Extension counterparts nationwide focus efforts on healthy housing (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services & U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 2006; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, n.d.; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2012). Without an understanding of the relationship between housing and health, professional competency may be compromised. This research will use a mixed methods approach to analyze data collected by study partners. The purpose is to examinethe relationship between housing and health among study participants.Sources:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2014). Healthy homes.

Goals / Objectives
To conduct extensive higher order analyses in all waves of quantitative and qualitative data to further explore factors that create barriers or enhance the physical and mental health of diverse rural low-income families. To disseminate findings, based on the proposed analyses, in order to further the empirical knowledge base and increase understanding among family serving professionals and policy makers regarding factors that contribute to or create barriers to the physical and mental health of diverse rural low-income families.
Project Methods
The goal of the research is to analyze data that have ben collected by the research team. The team had not fully examined the relationship between housing and health outcomes.The data will be analyzed using a mixed methods approach.As with the other researchers,anecological framework will guide analysis.

Outputs
Target Audience: Nothing Reported Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Conference attendance. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results have been submitted for peer-review publication. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Conduct and publish research with multi-state team.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Dr. Peek attended the "NC 1171: Interactions of individual, family, community, and policy contexts on the mental and physical health of diverse rural low-income families" research group meeting on October 21-23, 2019, in Portland, OR. Here, she was able to network with colleagues on a project and identify an agenda for the year. The agenda for the year: Analyze the Rural Families Speak About Health Wave II data using Walsh's (2016) Framework and create resilience scholarship. The following project was accomplished in 2019. Dr. Peek formed a team with project members Kimberly Greder (Iowa) and Ann Berry (Tennessee). The team, led by Peek, analyzed data, synthesized findings, and created a manuscript titled, Relationship between home environment and healthy living, submitted to the peer-review journal housing and Society. The team determined that consumers can take easy steps to reduce risk. Healthy homes educational programming can take an integrative approach, helping to increase consumer awareness, control, and test for healthy home issues. The paper can be used as the basis of a conference presentation. Dr. Peek will attend the 2020 NC1171 meeting, location to be determined. Here, she will continue efforts regarding new research papers for conference presentations and journal submission.

      Impacts
      What was accomplished under these goals? Dr. Peek attended the "NC 1171: Interactions of individual, family, community, and policy contexts on the mental and physical health of diverse rural low-income families" research group meeting in October 2017, in Tucson, Arizona. She was able to network with colleagues on the project and identify an agenda for the upcoming year. The agenda for the year included analyzing the Rural Families Speak About Health Wave II data and creating some type of scholarship from it. Data was received from project multi-state members Kimberly Greder (Iowa) and Ann Berry (Tennessee). These data formed the foundation of the project thatDr. Peek utilized to mentored a freshman research scholar Madison Brook. Brook analyzed data collected by NC1171 researchers, synthesized findings, and created a brief (5-page) synopsis and professional poster titled, The Relationship Between the Home Environment and Healthy Living. Brook determined that consumers can take easy steps to reduce risk. Healthy homes educational programming can take an integrative approach, helping to Increase consumer awareness, control, and test for healthy home issues. The poster was used for two scholarship events; permission was granted to use the same poster more than once. The first event was the OSU Undergraduate Research Symposium (April 20, 2018). Here, Brook won Honorable Mention for her poster. The second event was the College of Human Sciences K. Briggs Human Sciences Undergraduate Scholars Forum (April 23, 2018).

      What was accomplished under these goals? Researcher has just joined multi-state project and was able to attend the project annual meeting to identify an agenda for the project and Oklahoma. Two data sets have been created during the project: 1) Rural Family Survey (RFS, aka 1011): and 2) Rural Families Speak About Health (RFSH, aka 1171). Dr. Peek will use RFSH year 2, analyzing data related to the questions about housing. Dr. Peek is networking within the group to find a collaborator on this effort.
