Hi Elizabeth,
I thought that housing characteristics is a very interesting construct that I had not really encountered when reading or learning about health disparities but is definitely a very important construct in addition to the other measures of SES. For construct validity in this paper, I thought that perhaps the authors can also determine the association between HOUSES and lead exposure at home and/or risks of lead poisoning. Occurrence of lead poisoning from outdated paint or water pipes may also reflect individuals' housing options based on their SES level.
