Abstract

Lasting results of federal government influence for housing on-reserve include challenges with housing quantity and quality. Some First Nations communities face distressing housing shortages and household crowding. This study used a cross-sectional survey and the Canadian National Occupancy Standard definition of crowding to explore how household crowding affects health of people living on-reserve. and. First Nations Peoples from two reserve communities in Saskatchewan participated, a total of 831 individuals 18 years and older from 379 households. Household crowding and reports of respiratory diseases were high. The household crowding measure was significantly associated with chronic bronchitis. A culturally appropriate lens and more context are needed to understand household crowding on-reserve.
