The purpose of the focus groups was to analyse the impact and results of
the health-educational intervention, but the participants also talked about oth-
er areas related to Roma health care. They will also be presented, as they are
connected to the findings of the members of the focus groups on the impact of
education on care for reproductive health and children’s health (Petek, 2014).
General education of Roma people and their education
in the field of reproductive health
The general education of Roma men and women who visit their health centre is
rather low. Children avoid attending school. According to some in the groups,
the most effective way to stop financial assistance to parents is if the child plays
truant.
“Why is there no Roma woman in this school district who has fin-

“I think they have to go to school for nine years and that’s it. They al-
ways repeat classes and then finish.” (F1, S2)
“11 children didn’t go to school because they had health problems.”
(F1,S1)
“A gypsy woman said that a girl left when she was 13 years old and
that she went to social services and was told her that the girl was an
adult and there was no sense going after her. (F1, S4)
