The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) operates the National Healthy Housing Clearinghouse.  The Clearinghouse consists of hundreds of journal articles, reports, and publications related to healthy homes.  This section links you to the documents organized by healthy homes topic based on the modules in the National Healthy Homes Training Center's flagship course called Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners.  See the list of topics in the box to the right.  Make sure you scroll down past the introductory text.   

Please note that NCHH has not sorted the documents within the html page.  The most recent documents are at the top.  Use the Find (Control-F) function in your browser to seek out a particular document or issue.

For basic information on the topic, check out the PDF version of Start With People presentation from the course. 

What do I do when link to document doesn't work?  Sometimes, you will get an error when you click on the document title.  In this situation, the full document is not available because NCHH has not received permission from the publisher to post it.  If you encounter this error, go to the clearinghouse search page to find the document.  When you get the search results, click on "Article Details" in the abstract for the document to get a link to the publisher.  You will need to get the article directly from the publisher.

Are the references current? NCHH will update the references at least every other month.  So it is a good idea to use the Clearinghouse's search engine for recent additions.
