The Energy Equity, Housing and Health (E2H2) Program focuses on the study of housing and household energy as social and environmental determinants of health.
Founded and led by Dr. Diana Hernández, E2H2 has produced a robust body of work ranging from foundational research on the concept of energy insecurity to the evaluation of various interventions and policies at the housing and community level. Relying on rigorous interdisciplinary and mixed methods, the E2H2 scientific approach 1) combines interview and observational methods with environmental exposure assessments, trend analyses of large administrative and longitudinal datasets, 2) leverages policy changes as well as current events; and 3) is based in strategic partnerships with government, community and other stakeholders at local and national organizations.
