Objective
This project will be an example of good practice in community led research in the Science Shop tradition. The work is being performed on behalf of Cáirde a non-governmental organisation committed to reducing health inequalities amongst ethnic minorities in Ireland.
The study seeks to investigate mental health needs amongst migrants in Ireland, including identifying needs, use and up-take of services as well as patterns of service use and perceived barriers to access. It will provide a community driven perspective that will be used to inform the development and implementation of policy and practice in the field of mental health.
Also, due to the historical lack of research on the mental health needs of migrants in Ireland, it will begin the process of filling a significant lacuna in both local and European knowledge of the conditions surrounding migrants mental health needs. This research will enable Cáirde to assess the capacities they need in order to respond to mental health inequalities amongst their target populations. It will provide experience for an early stage researcher in working with a community organisation on a question of public concern.
It will provide a platform for the School of Nursing at Dublin City University to develop a programme of community- led research. It will also serve as a pioneering study for the Community Engagement Office at DCU that is currently establishing a Science Shop based on community knowledge exchange. Results will be widely disseminated as an example of good practice for community researchers in Ireland who may be setting up science shop type provision.
The Science Shop at Queen's University, Belfast which has extensive knowledge of community led research, will provide mentoring and support. Results will provide a tool for local community organisations to identify health inequality risks and to influence policy and service delivery.
