P1-40 Experience of discrimination is a significant associate of mental ill-health in Irish travellers. Findings from the all Ireland traveller health study
Introduction Traveller are an indigenous minority in Ireland, with poorer life expectancy and health status than the general population. We describe here the self-reported burden of mental ill-health and its associates. Methods A census survey of all Travellers was undertaken, with 8492 enumerated families (80% response rate). A random subset of 1796 adults completed a health survey. Peer researchers employed a novel oral-visual computer data-col…
P1-26 The all Ireland traveller health study of ten thousand families provides a human development index for Irish travellers
Introduction Irish Travellers, a nomadic minority group in Ireland, experience multi-faceted social deprivation. The All Ireland Traveller Health Study (AITHS) 2007–2011 of an estimated 10 000 families in both Irish jurisdictions shows little improvement in most measured indicators since the last systematic assessment in 1987. The Human Development Index (HDI), measures long term basic dimensions including life expectancy, access to knowledge and…
All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Background Irish Travellers are a distinct minority group characterised by a nomadic lifestyle, specific culture and substantial socio-economic and health disadvantage. When examined in 1987 the Traveller community in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) were shown to have a higher mortality than the general population. Updated information was needed to inform policy action in this area. Objective To examine the current mortality experience of Irish Tra…
Socio-demographic, health status, psycho-social and lifestyle predictors of self-rated health in the all Ireland Traveller Health Study
Background Irish Travellers have a lower life expectancy than the general Population. Objective health-status indices are consistently poorer in Traveller and Gypsy populations than in other comparably deprived social groups. Self-rated Health (SRH) is established as a valid indicator of objective health status. Methods As part of an all-Ireland census of 10 618 Traveller families both North and South (response rate 80% overall) employing a novel…
P50 “Pushing against the hill”
Background Travellers are a distinct minority grouping, characterised by a nomadic tradition and shared cultural traditions, who experience poor health and social disadvantage. Objective To explore in-depth a series of important issues related to the social determinants of health with members of the Irish Traveller community. Setting This paper presents data from 26 focus groups conducted with the Traveller community in the Republic of Ireland (R…
P45 Regional comparison of socioeconomic and environmental profiles of families with pregnant women in the All Ireland Traveller Health Study
Objective Travellers have been documented as a distinct group in Irish society for centuries. They experience significant socio-economic and health disadvantage particularly pertinent to pregnancy and early childhood development. This analysis contrasts the socio-economic and environmental profiles of “families with a resident pregnant woman” (FRPW) to other Traveller families and according to two distinct geopolitical regions. Setting Census sur…
The all Ireland traveller birth cohort study
Objective Irish Travellers are a significant minority group characterised by a nomadic lifestyle, specific culture, and significant socio-economic and health disadvantage. When last documented in 1986, their fertility rate was one of the highest in Europe and infant mortality was almost 3 times the Irish average. The purpose of this study was to investigate prospectively the health status, health utilisation and health care needs of Traveller inf…
