Age-friendliness of a provincial city
The global ageing phenomenon poses significant challenges for urban and community planning, leading to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Age-friendly Cities and Communities (AFCC) initiative to support older adults in ageing well within their homes and neighbourhoods. In Aotearoa New Zealand, the AFCC framework has been integrated into national policy; however, locally validated tools for assessing the age-friendliness of local communities ar…
“Being really confidently wrong”
Although peer review is one of the central pillars of academic publishing, qualitative researchers’ experiences of this process has been largely overlooked. Existing research and commentary have focused on peer reviewers’ comments on qualitative manuscripts, which are often described as indicative of a quantitative mindset or hostility to non-positivist qualitative research. We extend this literature by focusing on qualitative researchers’ experi…
Ageing in place in a rural town in Aotearoa New Zealand
Rural communities are ageing more rapidly than urban centres due to changing demographics and preference for ageing in familiar communities. Concurrently, ageing in place policies have progressively reinforced community living as the best option for most people. For ageing in place to be successful, understanding the relationship between the community environment and the functional ability of older adults is crucial. Yet, little is known about th…
Age-friendly attributes of a rural town in Aotearoa New Zealand
The rapid ageing of rural populations has highlighted the importance of ensuring environments are appropriate for the changing needs and preferences of older adults ageing in rural communities. Recent evidence indicates understanding existing characteristics of rural communities may contribute to the successful implementation and sustainability of age-friendly programs. Drawing on a case study this paper explored older adults (n = 15), and retail…
Asian Drinking Cultures in New Zealand
Alcohol use causes harm across most populations. However, comparatively little research and policy attention has been paid to drinking cultures among Asian people. A scoping review was undertaken to identify drinking patterns, alcohol-related harm, drinking culture among Asian youth, young adults, and adults living in New Zealand. A search of literature identified 39 relevant outputs. The findings indicated that Asian people enjoy a comparative h…
Exploring Understandings of Sexuality Among "Gay" Migrant Filipinos Living in New Zealand
Ethnicity, sexuality, and health are inextricably linked. This study reports on individual interviews carried out with 21 "gay" migrant Filipinos living in New Zealand to understand sexual identity and identify how they manage the disclosure of their identity. The participants provided both simple and complex accounts of sexuality. For many, these aligned with Western notions of how gay and bisexual are understood as categories; but for others, t…
Justifications for heavy alcohol use among gender and sexually diverse people
A range of research reports that many gender and sexually diverse people drink alcohol at heavy levels. This study used 24 focus groups to explore shared understandings of alcohol use among gender and sexually diverse people living in New Zealand. An inductive, data-driven thematic analysis was employed to identify explanations for heavy drinking among gender and sexually diverse people. Three key explanations were articulated: alcohol is needed …
Enhancing the inclusion of gender and sexually diverse populations in evaluation
Evaluators are committed to practice that is high quality and conducted ethically. Despite this, gender and sexually diverse populations are not always adequately considered in evaluation practice. Ensuring fuller inclusion of gender and sexually diverse people is required to give effect to human rights obligations and to enable comparatively poorer wellbeing outcomes for these groups to be addressed. Based on our experience conducting evaluation…
Older people's views about ageing well in a rural community
Maintaining physical, psychological and social wellbeing is integral to older adults being able to age well in their community. Therefore, an environment that facilitates and supports ageing well is imperative. The aim of this study was to explore the views of older people about their preparation for ageing well in a rural community. Forty-nine community-dwelling older people aged between 65 and 93 years participated in a semi-structured and digi…
Program Evaluation for Health Professionals
Health professionals deliver a range of health services to individuals and communities. The evaluation of these services is an important component of these programs and health professionals should have the requisite knowledge, attributes, and skills to evaluate the impact of the services they provide. However, health professionals are seldom adequately prepared by their training or work experience to do this well. In this article we provide a sui…

Gay Men's Explanations of Health and How to Improve It
Little is known about the health views of gay men. In this article we report on how gay men explained health and the ways they discussed how health for gay men can be improved. We conducted a thematic analysis of data collected from 45 gay men in 11 focus groups and identified that health was mainly explained in individual terms, as were the ways to improve health (personal health care services and health promotion). The second way health was exp…
Building Evaluation Capability in the Public Health Workforce

In this article, we present the evaluation findings of the ‘Easy Evaluation’ initiative, which provides evaluation training workshops and organisational coaching and support, in order to address our centra…

The challenges and possibilities pos…
Evaluation Training to Build Capability in the Community and Public Health Workforce
Increasingly, staff members in community and public health programs and projects are required to undertake evaluation activities. There is, however, limited capacity for, and understanding of, evaluation within this workforce. Building the capability of individual workers and thereby contributing to the overall capacity among the community and public health workforce has been advocated as one solution. In this article, the Easy Evaluation initiat…
Men Who Have Sex With Men Account for Nonuse of Condoms
Despite several decades of health promotion activity targeted at men who have sex with men (MSM), rates for nonuse of condoms for anal sex among MSM worldwide and in New Zealand have been increasing in recent times. In this article we report on the first local qualitative investigation undertaken in Auckland, New Zealand, of how members of a particular group of MSM account for nonuse of condoms for anal sex with other men. We collected qualitativ…
