Shawn Gerstenberger, Jorge Bertran, Melissa Marshall, Courtney Coughenour, Maxim Gakh (all Environmental and Occupational Health), and Chad Cross (Epidemiology and Biostatistics) published an article on "Environmental hazards and likelihood of mitigation in renter-occupied housing units in Clark County, Nevada" in the journal Housing and Society.

Limited research exists on the effectiveness of the NV state statutes on ensuring habitability and access to essential services, and the characteristics of environmental hazards found in Clark County, NV renter-occupied units (ROUs). In this study, researchers examined data from the Clark County Landlord and Tenant Hotline Study to determine which ROUs are most at-risk for hazards and what factors are associated with remediation, examining age of unit, hazard type, and tenant-initiated intervention data. The results of this study can be used to enhance our ability to identify higher risk ROUs given factors related to their age, environmental hazards, and level of intervention sought by tenants in order to better understand the likelihood of remediation in Clark County, NV.
