An innovative Indigenous-led model for integrated Covid-19 case management in Auckland, New Zealand: Lessons from implementation
In Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ), the Indigenous Māori population have been more severely impacted than non-Māori throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and less well served by NZ’s COVID-19 response. This case-study describes an innovative Indigenous-led service delivery model, which was designed and implemented to improve the case and contact management of Māori with COVID-19 in Auckland. We outline the context in which the conventional public health ca…
Indigenous secondary school recruitment into tertiary health professional study: A qualitative study of student and whānau worldviews on the strengths, challenges and opportunities of the Whakapiki Ak…
Addressing the underrepresentation of Māori in the health workforce is expected to improve Māori health status and contribute to a reduction in Māori health inequities. This research aimed to understand the strengths, challenges and opportunities of the Whakapiki Ake Project (WAP) – an Indigenous tertiary recruitment programme that engages with Māori secondary school students (and their whānau) who wish to pursue a career in health. Two workshops…
Why cultural safety rather than cultural competency is required to achieve health equity: A literature review and recommended definition
Open to critique: Predictive effects of academic outcomes from a bridging/foundation programme on first-year degree-level study
Bridging/foundation programmes are often provided by tertiary institutions to increase equity in access and academic performance of students from under-served communities. Little empirical evidence exists to measure the effectiveness of these bridging/foundation programmes on undergraduate academic outcomes. This research identifies the predictive effect of academic outcomes achieved within a bridging/foundation programme, targeted towards indige…
Indigenous Positioning in Health Research: The importance of Kaupapa Māori theory-informed practice
Understanding how to undertake Kaupapa Māori research can be a challenge for emerging health researchers. Unless emerging researchers have exposure to Kaupapa Māori theory or senior Māori health research expertise, the challenge of undertaking Kaupapa Māori research within health research contexts can seem daunting, and for some, too difficult to attempt. This article summarizes what an Indigenous positioning means to me as a health researcher, m…
A tertiary approach to improving equity in health: Quantitative analysis of the Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (Mapas) process, 2008–2012
Our findings raise concerns about the ability of the secondary education sector to prepare Māori and Pacific students adequately for health professional study. A comprehensive tertiary admissions process using multiple tools for selection (cognitive and non-cognitive) and the provision of alternative entry pathways are recommended for indigenous and ethnic minority health workforce development. The application of the MMI within an equity and indi…
