[Disability inclusion in "One Health Citizen Science" Project: experience in Sardinia Region (Southern Italy)]

As part of the 'One Health Citizen Science' (OHCS) project, which aims to encourage data collection and health promotion in areas of high environmental risk, particular importance has been given to citizen participation. This article describes the pilot activity carried out in Sulcis Iglesiente, an area of Sardinia known for its various environmental pressures, which is the result of collaboration among the University of Cagliari, the Italian National Research Council and the Anffas Foundation, an association that supports people with intellectual disabilities and neurological development disorders. Interdisciplinary pathways were created to support informed participation of people with intellectual disabilities on the risks of the territory in which they live. To achieve this goal, appropriate scientific methods were used through accessible language and with the mediation of professional educators. In designing the sustainability of this citizen science activity over time, the promoters also included policy makers in the dialogue to provide them with concrete and more representative bases on which to base their decisions.
