    Research

    The project focuses on understanding and improving equity in healthcare, with an emphasis on individuals living in stigmatized neighborhoods. Stigmatized neighborhoods refer to areas where residents are often stigmatized due to a negative image in society, which can result in these persons not receiving the care and support they need, potentially exacerbating health disparities. The project aims to improve the early stages of the healthcare chain, where timely and accurate care can make a significant difference to health outcomes. By enhancing the understanding of healthcare encounters between persons living in stigmatized neighborhoods and prehospital emergency services, the project seeks to develop person-centeredness in these interactions to create more equitable healthcare. This project is directly linked to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being, and Goal 10: Reduced Inequality, where a key focus is to ensure that all people have the right to good health, regardless of their background. By focusing on equal access to healthcare in early stages and improving healthcare encounters in stigmatized areas, the project can help reduce health disparities and promote equitable healthcare.
