In this article, we examine the participation and interactions of migrant women and experts who attended health parties. Based on data from participation observations and semi-structured interviews from participants of health parties, we examine how health parties may be considered an innovative bottom-up community program that could influence how migrant women focus, learn, and discuss health issues as well as interact with health care. Through a qualitative analysis, the article demonstrates two ways of organizing health parties and different approaches to the health expert role, and how this impacts the social setting and interactions of a health party. In the Norwegian setting, migrant women are considered by health authorities to be the most difficult group to reach due to cultural and language barriers. Health parties may represent an alternative for bridging these barriers and may create a useful context for active participation and learning about health for migrant women.
在本文中，我们研究了参加健康派对的移民妇女和专家的参与情况及互动。基于健康派对参与者的参与观察和半结构化访谈数据，我们探讨了健康派对如何可被视为一项自下而上的创新性社区项目，该项目可能会影响移民妇女关注、学习和讨论健康问题的方式，以及她们与医疗保健的互动。通过定性分析，本文展示了组织健康派对的两种方式以及对健康专家角色的不同处理方法，以及这如何影响健康派对的社会环境和互动。在挪威的背景下，卫生当局认为由于文化和语言障碍，移民妇女是最难接触到的群体。健康派对可能是跨越这些障碍的一种选择，并且可能为移民妇女积极参与和学习健康知识创造一个有益的环境。
