Project name<\/strong>: Building Trust in Roma Communities and Internally Displaced People for NCD Prevention<\/p>\n

Project Acronym:<\/strong> ShowUp4Health<\/p>\n

Program:<\/strong> EU4HEALTH<\/p>\n

2023.12.01-2026.11.30.<\/p>\n

About the project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social and environmental health determinants impact the health ecosystem of vulnerable groups. In Central and Eastern Europe, Roma communities are among the most vulnerable and segregated groups. Cultural characteristics, poverty, and a distrust of systemic structures lead Roma groups to face widespread health inequalities, such as low health literacy and a low willingness to adhere to medical protocols. These health determinants then directly contribute to the Roma community\u2019s increased risk for developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs).<\/p>\n

ShowUp4Health believes that communities that synergize medical and social interventions can use this as a tool to build trust and facilitate higher levels of health literacy in vulnerable groups like the Roma. Cross-sectoral partnerships of stakeholders in support of vulnerable communities can also bring expertise, cooperation and resources to address complex NCD strands.<\/p>\n

The general objective of ShowUp4Health aims to address social and environmental health determinants contributing to the increased risk of NCDs in vulnerable groups (primarily Roma communities and secondarily IDPs). This will be achieved through the development of an Integrated Social-Healthcare Development Methodology (Integrated Methodology) for organizations working with vulnerable people. This methodology will complement the Member States\u2019 efforts in integration, introduction, dissemination, and implementation of best practices.<\/p>\n
