There is evidence that Dialogic Scientific Gatherings (DSG) are an effective intervention for inclusive health communication, demonstrating a positive impact on promoting healthy habits. This is particularly relevant for groups that typically face more health issues due to socioeconomic and educational inequalities. However, the implementation of DSG with non-academic Roma women, one of the groups historically suffering from these inequalities, has not yet been studied. To address this knowledge gap, within the framework of the ROM21 "Roma Women Leading Communities' Transformation" research project, four DSG sessions were co-created with non-academic Roma women, in collaboration with a Roma women's association and the research team. The DSG sessions focused on health topics chosen by the participants themselves. The analysis of the interventions by Roma women in the DSG revealed that these sessions provided a space for the collective creation of meaning and knowledge on health topics that concern them. This contributed to overcoming stereotypes about their lack of interest in evidence-based health information that promotes healthy habits. Topics discussed included the relationship between sedentary behavior and diet with diseases such as cancer and childhood obesity, as well as the connection between social ties and mental health. These discussions facilitated an environment conducive to informed health decisions among non-academic Roma women.
有证据表明，对话式科学聚会（DSG）是促进包容性健康交流的有效干预措施，对促进健康习惯具有积极影响。这对于那些由于社会经济和教育不平等而通常面临更多健康问题的群体尤为重要。然而，对于历史上一直遭受这些不平等影响的非学术性罗姆妇女群体实施DSG的情况，尚未进行研究。为了填补这一知识空白，在ROM21“罗姆妇女引领社区转型”研究项目的框架内，与一个罗姆妇女协会和研究团队合作，与非学术性罗姆妇女共同举办了四场DSG会议。DSG会议聚焦于参与者自己选择的健康主题。对罗姆妇女在DSG中的干预措施进行分析后发现，这些会议为她们就自身关注的健康主题集体创造意义和知识提供了一个空间。这有助于克服关于她们对促进健康习惯的循证健康信息缺乏兴趣的刻板印象。讨论的主题包括久坐行为和饮食与癌症和儿童肥胖等疾病之间的关系，以及社会关系与心理健康之间的联系。这些讨论为非学术性罗姆妇女做出明智的健康决策营造了有利环境。
