A short version of the Housing Enabler

A reduced version of the instrument the Housing Enabler has been published by researchers from Lund University

The Housing Enabler is a screening tool for analysis of housing accessibility problems. To present a reduced version of the Housing Enabler this study identifies the core items of the environmental component of the instrument, that is, the items most important in terms of the instrument's overall validity to measure accessibility problems. The environmental component of the reduced version comprises 61 items, compared to 188 in the original instrument. Based on comprehensive empirical research in three countries, the reduced version of the Housing Enabler is a time-efficient and valid screening instrument. It is a powerful tool for research and interventions focusing on housing accessibility problem identification.
