title = {Roma and health: the social determinants of health: lessons from the case of Roma in Hungary},
year = {2015},
note = {Roma are, all over the world, a particularly segregated and unhealthy
minority group. The causes of poor health among Roma people will be
analysed to find out if such causes are ethnically-related or, rather,
socially-determined. A comparison between Roma health status and the
health condition of the general population will point to the main
differences, showing to what extent Roma suffer from health
inequalities. The study will provide evidence and reliable information
on the most important social determinants responsible for the health
status of the Roma community in Hungary, such as poverty; low
education; employment; discrimination; segregation; poor and unhealthy
housing; relationships between health care providers and Roma
patients; the unequal distribution of power, money and resources; and
the burdens in accessing health care services. The relation between
health condition and socio-economic status will be analysed to
understand whether social determinants of health are sufficient fully
to explain the poorer health status of Roma in Hungary.},
