Abstract
As housing quality affects the physical and mental health and social-well being of the occupants, and since a wide array of social and medical factors are involved, solutions to problems of the residential environment of man and his health must be sought cooperatively with pertinent scientific skills. Official health agencies are being challenged to evaluate current needs of their legal jurisdic -tions and to assess the adequacy of present programs. A national Conference on Hygiene of Housing and the Residential Environment to evaluate data on the relationship of housing to health, define areas in which research is needed, and focus on ways in which State and local health can participate with other agencies in the planning and execution of such programs, is proposed.
