  The Quality of Life Panel Research
  in Nyíregyháza (2008-2018) has been examining the
  changes in allowances. Similarly to the national data, there
  is a decrease in household allowance, the allowance for
  economically active people, and the number of people getting
  allowances. This study examines whether these tendencies
  are the same in two segregated areas, the Husar and
  Eastern settlements in Nyíregyháza, since here the residents
  are in a more disadvantageous position which stems from
  their education attainment, housing conditions, employment
  and related financial situation. Although the rate of those
  who live and get allowance is higher than that of the city
  dwellers, despite being entitled to allowances fewer people
  have applied for them. In this study we examine the underlying
  reasons by analysing our sample through social and
  economic characteristics, and along their changing attitude
  towards allowances.

  Besides being at economic, educational and cultural disadvantage, Roma people prove to be a highly disadvantageous social layer in health care, as well. The most disadvantageous ones reside in settlements. Although health is a basic value and activity potential for everybody, it is unlikely to develop and function well without sufficient knowledge on health and individual responsibility, or when the right to access to health care and the principle of equal treatment are damaged, or when comprehensive social policy development programs are incomplete, but most of all when the majority does not show an inclusive attitude towards Roma people. The present study reveals the health behaviour of young Roma adults of 18-19 years of age through a focus group interview.
