However, few studies have specifically addressed the transformative actions or strategies that helped to mitigate these adverse effects. This study aimed to identify and analyze transformative elements through a systematic review, following PRISMA guidelines. The search was conducted across Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar, yielding 995 records, of which 46 were included in the final phase and 25 in our synthesis. Our analysis focused on community-led initiatives that addressed inequalities, particularly when Roma community members were involved in the design of solutions or took on mediation roles. The results underscore the critical importance of inclusive, community-driven actions in overcoming structural barriers and promoting long-term resilience within Roma communities during the pandemic. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-117098RA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 1.7 2024 0.523 2024 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 3.1 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Elboj, Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0937-4861 de Botton, Lena 4009 775 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
