Learning about personally relevant topics in health professional education
Higher education curricula that explore aspects of human experience may overlap with students’ own lives. However, the experience of learning about personally relevant material is not well understood. This paper draws on interviews with 22 health professional students and graduates whose study significantly overlapped with their own lives. Participants described curriculum content which resonated with experiences including personal or family illn…
The undercounting of Indigenous Māori imprisoned by the New Zealand carceral state
BACKGROUND: Indigenous Māori are imprisoned on a mass scale by the nation-state currently known as New Zealand, driven by racialised inequities that occur across the criminal legal system and a rapidly expanding carceral state. Lack of reliable data limits the ability to monitor and evaluate the health and disability impacts of imprisonment on Māori. We examined ethnicity data quality; specifically, potential miscounting of Māori in prison. All i…
Health in justice or health injustice? Indigenous Māori experiences of primary care following release from New Zealand prisons
Whilst our findings indicate that Māori released from prisons access primary care, there are financial barriers to access. We also found (across a range of access and quality measures) that primary care services are not meeting their high health needs, demonstrating governmental breach of Indigenous rights to health. High-quality primary care is critical to successful community re-entry and to preventing adverse outcomes. There is an urgent requi…
A Whakawhanaungatanga Māori wellbeing model for housing and urban environments
Significant effort is underway to address the housing crisis in Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa), including rapid investment in public and community housing. As Māori (the Indigenous people of Aotearoa) face many systemic barriers and impediments to home ownership, delivery and development of housing options and make up a significant proportion of public housing tenants, developing and managing housing and associated neighbourhoods that enable and…
Mortality after release from incarceration in New Zealand by gender
Experience of incarceration in New Zealand is associated with high rates of mortality from both chronic conditions and external causes. There are urgent policy imperatives to recognise and actively address the increased health and mortality risks faced by people released from New Zealand prisons
A kia ora, a wave and a smile
Māori health providers are well placed to respond effectively in a public-health crisis when resourced appropriately and trusted to deliver. We propose a number of recommendations based on the insights generated from the researchers, kaimahi, and whānau. These are that: Māori be included in pandemic planning and decision-making, Māori-led initiatives and organisations be valued and adequately resourced, and strong communities with strong networks…
Students as epistemological agents
Foundation for a Smoke-Free World and healthy Indigenous futures
Indigenous peoples represent a diversity of cultures, perspectives and experiences that brings tremendous vibrancy to our world. Within this diversity, many Indigenous peoples share a common history of colonisation that continues today

Developing a Kaupapa Māori Research Project to Help Reduce Health Disparities Experienced by Young Māori Women and Their Babies
Young Māori mothers experience stigma and their babies experience poor health outcomes. Interventions to reduce these health disparities need to understand the lives of these young women. This paper describes consultation to seek agreement for research with young Māori mothers to be conducted in two regions. Consultation occurred with tribal authorities, Māori health providers, district health boards, and community stakeholders. Endorsement was g…
Survival disparities in Indigenous and non-Indigenous New Zealanders with colon cancer
BACKGROUND: Ethnic disparities in cancer survival have been documented in many populations and cancer types. The causes of these inequalities are not well understood but may include disease and patient characteristics, treatment differences and health service factors. Survival was compared in a cohort of Maori (Indigenous) and non-Maori New Zealanders with colon cancer, and the contribution of demographics, disease characteristics, patient comorb…

More local patterns of area effect are further revealed, eg more mixed land use is associated with higher levels of walking in some but not all areas of the city, suggesting that the significance and magnitude of associations between built environment characteristics and walking are not the same across space. Discussion: Application and findings of the three approaches lead to distinct yet complementary conclusions about the environmenta…
Tackling health inequalities
Government and sector leadership were critical to the success of the workshops and subsequent changes in policy and practice. The use of locally adapted equity tools, requiring participants to develop action plans, and using a case study to focus discussion were important to the success for the training. Using institutional theory was helpful in analysing how drivers of inequalities, such as racism, are built into health institutions. This New Ze…
