(pp. 290-315).0303-6758https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/71448This paper reflects on the influences and outcomes of He Kāinga Oranga/Housing and Health Research Programme over 25 years, and their impact on housing and health policy in Aotearoa and internationally. Working in partnership particularly with Māori and Pasifika communities, we have conducted randomised control trials which have shown the health and broad co-benefits of retrofitted insulation, heating and remediation of home hazards, which have underpinned government policy in the Warm Up NZ-Heat Smart programme and the Healthy Homes Standards for rental housing. These trials have been included as evidence in the WHO Housing and Health Guidelines and led to our designation as a WHO Collaborating Centre on Housing and Wellbeing. We are increasingly explicitly weaving Māori frameworks, values and processes with traditional Western science.(c) 2023 The Author/sCC BY-NC-ND 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/healthHousingmātauranga MāoriPasiﬁkapolicy interventionswellbeingHe Kāinga Oranga: reflections on 25 years of measuring the improved health, wellbeing and sustainability of healthier housingJournal article10.1080/03036758.2023.21704271175-8899journal-article290-315
