- The Roma Community in Ireland: The Role of the Tallaght Roma Integration Project
- Summary
- This project reported on the work of the Tallaght Roma Integration Project (TRIP) and, in particular, to examine its contribution to improving access to healthcare for the Roma community in the greater Tallaght area of Dublin. The Roma community is a new migrant group in Ireland and this project also aimed to consult with members of the Roma community regarding their perceived needs and gaps in service provision. Across Europe, the Roma community experiences high levels of discrimination and marginalisation and a final aim of this project was to illuminate experiences of this new migrant group in the Irish context. The final publication of this project can be accessed at:http://www.tara.tcd.ie/handle/2262/75826

- EIST: A Study of Mental Health Service User Views
- Summary
- This study is located in the context of Irish national mental health policy (A Vision for Change, 2006) which articulates a recovery-informed approach to mental health service delivery with service user participation as a central element of the recovery process. The study explores the views of a sample of mental health service users on participation and how they conceptualise optimum participation based on their experiences of service usage. The study also reveals the beliefs and opinions regarding participation which service users carry into service usage, arising from their interactions with mental health service systems. A narrative methodology, Voice Centred Relational Method (VCRM), was adopted for the purposes of data collection and analysis, thus positioning the views of service users as central to the production of knowledge in this study. The study reveals the advantages and disadvantages of using VCRM in the context of a study of this type.
