Abstract

We propose that stakeholders should develop an economically sustainable, public health intervention to improve indoor air quality and to reduce overcrowding in households of underserved U.S. rural, urban and suburban residents exposed to life-threatening respiratory infections, such as caused by coronavirus disease 2019, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus. We posit that a multifaceted community-based intervention in these households would improve social inequities, promote health justice, and reduce health care expenditure. However, this call for action would require an interdisciplinary, coordinated, and sustainable action plan devised by federal, state, county, and city government departments and agencies in close collaboration with and input from local community leaders, members, and residents.

室内空气质量不足和家庭过度拥挤易导致危及生命的肺部感染:呼吁采取行动。
我们建议利益相关者制定经济上可持续的公共卫生干预措施,以改善室内空气质量,并减少服务不足的美国农村、城市和郊区居民家庭的过度拥挤,这些居民暴露于危及生命的呼吸道感染,例如由2019年冠状病毒病、流感和呼吸道合胞病毒引起的感染。我们假设,对这些家庭进行多方面的以社区为基础的干预将改善社会不平等,促进卫生公正,并减少卫生保健支出。然而,这一行动呼吁需要一个跨学科的、协调的和可持续的行动计划,由联邦、州、县和市政府部门和机构与当地社区领导人、成员和居民密切合作和投入。
