The Housing Enabler Screening Tool: Feasibility and Interrater Agreement in a Real Estate Company Practice Context

Författare

Summary, in English

The ambition underlying this study is to provide a valid and efficient screening tool targeting accessibility problems in the ordinary housing stock. The study aims to test the feasibility and interrater agreement of a screening-tool version of the Housing Enabler in a real estate company practice context. Two rater pairs administer the screening in 35 apartments in a Swedish municipality. The overall agreement for the rater pairs was 83% and 78%. For 29 of the 61 items of the tool, the agreement was > 80% for both rater pairs; for 8 items, it was < 80%. The findings show that the tool is feasible for use in a real estate practice context but that there is a need for more rater training and an instrument manual. This study contributes to the development of research-based strategies for the identification of accessibility problems in ordinary housing, with the long-term aim to increase accessibility in the housing stock, ultimately supporting activity and participation among senior citizens.
