Kia mau i te WeHI: The design, development, and validation of the Wellbeing Hononga Index (WeHI)—A new self-report measure of Māori well-being.
OBJECTIVES: The aims of these studies were to (a) document the creation of the Wellbeing Hononga Index (WeHI), (b) demonstrate how psychometric practices can be Indigenized, and (c) provide a novel protocol for psychometrically validating survey measures.

A systematic scoping review for decolonial public and global health: Indigenous frameworks and models of wellbeing from Turtle Island and Moananuiākea

The issue is multiplied for Indigenous doctoral researchers who enact their research from the margins. In this study, six Māori and one Pākehā (n…

We sought in our qualitative studies to explore and identify several key sources of wellbeing for Māori individuals.…
