Housing is one of the most important social determinants of health. Dimensions of housing, including stability, quality, and conditions of the surrounding neighborhood can pose differential risks for families according to socioeconomic status. Tiana's current research investigates these dimensions' association with developmental outcomes in the contexts of city-level and federal housing interventions. She hopes to translate insights gained from such analyses to health and housing policy in an effort to create more equitable home environments for low-income children and their families.
