Authors : علمي حنان .
Abstract
This work examines the deteriorated health position Tuareg minority have suffered from in comparison to other Algerian minorities. Equally important, gender disparities in the context of health are being well considered as they clarify the complex jeopardy of gender and ethnic affiliations. This research depends on syndemic as a multidisciplinary theory approaching a measurement on how large-scale social factors can be entwined and biologically synergy to undermine health status in the target vulnerable group. To provide this explanation, the research work analysis relies on limiting the scope on a case study that associates life stresses, triggered from life discriminatory events, with diabetes prevalence among Tuareg women. The work accentuates the role of narratives as a pathway to design a relevant measure of stress; then the paper depends on a mixed-methods study to complete a syndemic case in Tuareg women who live in Ghardaia town, depending on a population-based quantitative survey (N = 30) and in-depth, qualitative interviews (N =30).Over all, the work shows that there is a positive association between perceiving discrimination experienced by Tuareg women living in Ghardaia town with their unfavourable health condition in general, and their affliction with diabetes in particular.
