Digital Spaces, Art and BAME health: A qualitative study exploring how online spoken word event impact BAME health during the CoVid-19 pandemic .

在COVID-19大流行期间，在线口语活动是为英国BAME女性提供支持和信息的有效网站吗？这项研究将着眼于诗歌和口语作为应对工具的有效性，以应对由于英国日益增长的健康不平等而导致的BAME妇女生活交叉optimization的负面健康影响，这种不平等因全球COVID-19大流行而加剧。我们将利用一个示范性行动研究范式，进行半结构化访谈，并促进焦点小组，以阐明被忽视的黑人和棕色人种妇女的生活经历及其在大流行期间的健康状况。我们还将调查诗歌/口语和在线口语活动的媒介的使用和有效性，以促进与会者和表演者之间的经验和重要的健康相关信息（如疫苗获取和犹豫）的交流。将对数据进行主题分析，并使用参与性诗歌调查制作诗歌选集，创造性地将参与者在全球卫生史上最具历史意义的事件之一中的突出观点和经验作为平台。我们希望，这项研究项目的成果将填补在了解研究不足的人群的健康体验方面的巨大空白，这些人群在历史上一直受到日益严重的健康不平等的影响，并受到COVID-19大流行的社会，政治和经济影响的影响。

Were online spoken word events effective sites for support and information for UK BAME women during the COVID-19 pandemic? This research will look at the efficacy of poetry and spoken word as coping tools for the negative health impacts of the lived intersecting oppressions of BAME women as a result of growing health inequalities in the UK, which have been exacerbated by the globalCOVID-19 pandemic. Utilising a Participatory Action Research paradigm, we will conduct semi-structured interviews and facilitate focus groups which will elucidate the overlooked, lived experiences of Black and Brown women and their health during the pandemic. We will also investigate the use and efficacy of the medium of poetry/spoken-word and online spoken-word events in facilitating the communication of experiences and vital health-related information such as vaccine access and hesitancy, between attendees and performers. The data will be thematically analysed and participatory poetic enquiry used to produce an anthology of poetry, which creatively platforms participants' salient perspectives and experiences during one of the most historic events of global health history. It is hoped that the output from this research project will fill the huge gap in understanding the health experiences of an under-researched population who have been historically impacted by growing health inequities, and disproportionality impacted by social, political and economic repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
