Comparison of housing conditions at pre and post rehousing for participants who completed the study, by housing categorical variables
| Mean (SD) PRE |
Mean (SD) POST† |
Difference pre-postb |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of adults per household | |||
| a. Pre-post number of adults per household (na) | |||
| 0. ≥ 3 adults pre, ≤ 2 adults post (n = 73) | 5.1 (1.4) | 1.8 (0.4) *** | 3.3 |
| 1. ≥ 3 adults pre-post (n = 9) | 5.1 (1.5) | 3.3 (0.5) * | 1.8 |
| 2. ≤ 2 adults pre-post (n = 20) | 1.8 (0.4) | 1.7 (0.5) | 0.1 |
| Number of children per household | |||
| b. Pre-post number of children per household (na) | |||
| 0. ≥ 3 children pre, ≤ 2 children post (n = 33) | 4.0 (1.6) | 1.3 (0.7) *** | 2.7 |
| 1. ≥ 3 children pre-post (n = 21) | 4.6 (1.9) | 3.9 (1.4) | 0.7 |
| 2. ≤ 2 children pre-post (n = 44) | 1.0 (0.8) | 0.6 (0.8) ** | 0.4 |
| Sense of home score (/40) | |||
| c. Pre-post sense of home scores — tertiles (na) | |||
| 0. Lowest pre, mid/highest post (n = 39) | 22.6 (3.5) | 31.9 (2.7) *** | 9.3 |
| 1. Lowest pre-post (n = 7) | 22.1 (4.0) | 24.6 (3.5) | 2.5 |
| 2. Mid/highest pre-post (n = 40) | 32.0 (2.9) | 32.3 (2.5) | 0.3 |
aThe number of participants for each categorical variable does not add up to 102 participants (100%) due to exclusions (see Methods section)
bThe difference was obtained by subtracting post from pre rehousing values for the number of adults per household and the number of children per household (pre minus post), and inversely for the sense of home score (post minus pre)
†The means pre and post are statistically different; paired t-test where ***p < 0.001; **p ≤ 0.01; *p ≤ 0.05
