This is an amazing piece of research and extremely relevant with the housing crisis happening in the UK right now.

Risk assessment in public health often lacks community input when defining acceptable risk targets. Researchers, including CDR's @irenemussio.bsky.social, developed a method to account for individual #risk #preferences in medical -and potentially other- decisions. read more: doi.org/10.1080/1545...

New paper out with Amanda M. Wilson and friends! We developed a novel method for applying behavioral microeconomics to integrate individuals’ risk preferences into risk assessment using risk-risk trade-offs and QMRAs www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thank you to everyone who showed up to the launch! It was super exciting to meet all these new faces =)

Some great presentations at HBN launch. Environmental justice for indoor environments, ventilation & indoor AQ in schools, regulating indoor environments, impact of Indonesian peat fires on indoor exposure. Shocking statistic from US - almost as much time spent in transport environments as outdoors.

@lionelpage.bsky.social has made a great (and growing!) list of behavioural economists. Give it a "follow all"!

Join us on Oct 16th for the launch of the Healthy Buildings Network. In person event but you can also sign up to be part of future events and be part of our database of specialists!
