- Abstract
During the pandemic generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the Mexican government implemented containment-mitigation strategies to reduce and prevent contagion, however, community participation in health issues has generated adverse reactions from the official sector, which approach indigenous communities with an imposing and handout mentality. The study aimed to develop a research-action-education work to control COVID-19 in an indigenous community of Yucatán. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews and focused observation in the municipality of Teabo, Yucatan were performed from June to December 2020. With the collected information, the located approach strategies were developed using various resources, spaces, and media for dissemination. In general, good management of sanitary measures among the population was found, nevertheless, the presence of discrimination and stigma was recorded. The community educational strategies developed for the containment-mitigation of COVID-19 in Teabo were of three types: (1) for the population in general; (2) for the young population; and (3) social networks. Action-research projects with a collaborative approach are fundamental for health to be a right in rural areas.
