HOUSING IMPACTS CHILDREN’S HEALTH:

 

Join paediatric colleagues and endorse

the Canadian Child and Youth Health and Housing

ACTION STATEMENT!

 

 <http://www.housingandchildhealth.ca> www.housingandchildhealth.ca

 

Representatives from key paediatric health sciences centres have worked
together  to raise the awareness of the impact of housing on the healthy
development of children and youth, and to facilitate a national dialogue on
this important determinant of health.

 

Housing is much more than shelter.  It plays a crucial role in the healthy
development of children and youth, and influences immediate and long-term
physical and mental health.  When children live in housing that is crowded,
too expensive or in need of major repair, they are at increased risk of
injury, psychological distress, malnutrition, lower school performance,
behaviour problems, and exposure to communicable diseases.

LE LOGEMENT A DES RÉPERCUSSIONS SUR LA SANTÉ DES ENFANTS :

 

Joignez-vous à vos collègues en pédiatrie et appuyez la déclaration du
Réseau canadien

de santé et de logement des enfants et des adolescents!

 

 <http://www.housingandchildhealth.ca/> www.housingandchildhealth.ca

 

Des représentants de centres de sciences de la santé pédiatriques clé ont
travaillé ensemble à la sensibilisation de la population sur les
répercussions du logement sur le développement des enfants et des
adolescents en vue de faciliter également un dialogue national sur cet
important déterminant de la santé.

 

Le logement est plus qu’un simple toit. Il joue un rôle crucial dans le
développement des enfants et des adolescents et a d’importantes
répercussions sur la santé physique et mentale à court et à long terme.
Quand les enfants vivent dans un milieu surpeuplé, trop cher ou qui a besoin
de sérieuses réparations, ils courent un plus grand risque de se blesser, de
subir une certaine détresse psychologique, de mal se nourrir, de manifester
un rendement médiocre à l’école ainsi que des problèmes de comportement et
de se trouver exposés à des maladies contagieuses.
