Abstract
ALBAR-MARIN, María J; GUTIERREZ-MARTINEZ, Ana and GARCIA-RAMIREZ, Manuel. Repercussions of COVID-19 in a participatory action-research process with adolescent Roma women. Gac Sanit [online]. 2023, vol.37, 102255. Epub May 03, 2023. ISSN 0213-9111. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gaceta.2022.102255.
The objective of this article is to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the implementation of the RoMoMatter project, using a community-based participatory action research methodology, in Córdoba (Spain). Five academic researchers and 30 community members participated. Individual interviews, focus groups and field notes were used as data collection techniques. The interviews were audio-recorded with the consent of the participants and transcribed verbatim. The information collected was coded using Atlas Ti software. The efforts of adaptation to the new pandemic scenario made by the participants and the technical and emotional support role played by the adaptation team are highlighted. It is concluded that the main impact of the pandemic was evidenced in the participatory process of all the people involved, and in the format and number of activities.
