Building a systems-thinking community workforce to scale action on determinants of health in New Zealand
This article describes findings from the evaluation of Healthy Families NZ (HFNZ), an equity-driven, place-based community health initiative. Implemented in nine diverse communities across New Zealand, HFNZ aims to strengthen the systems that can improve health and well-being. Findings highlight local needs and priorities including the social mechanisms important for reorienting health and policy systems towards place-based communities. Lessons e…
Te Mauri-whānau mana motuhake
This article describes the origins and development of Te Mauri (the life essence), a unique Māori (Indigenous people of New Zealand) public health and well-being programme aimed at addressing critical gaps in knowledge about supportive cancer care for whānau (families) living with cancer in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Te Mauri is a kaupapa Māori (Māori philosophy) public health initiative having a whānau ora (family well-being) approach, so is based …
Pasifika prediabetes youth empowerment programme
This paper provides insights from a community‐centre intervention study that was co‐designed by youth, health providers and researchers. The aims of the paper were to highlight the effectiveness of a co‐designed community centred diabetes prevention intervention, and to determine whether a culturally tailored approach was successful. The study participants ( n = 26) were at risk of developing prediabetes and represented the working age group of P…
Equity in access to zero-fees and low-cost Primary Health Care in Aotearoa New Zealand
Inequities in exposure to occupational risk factors between Māori and non-Māori workers in Aotearoa New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Health inequities between indigenous and non-indigenous people are well documented. However, the contribution of differential exposure to risk factors in the occupational environment remains unclear. This study assessed differences in the prevalence of self-reported exposure to disease risk factors, including dust and chemicals, physical factors and organisational factors, between Māori and non-Māori workers in New Zealand. METHODS: P…
Pasifika Youth Empowerment Programme
In New Zealand, the burden of obesity is greatest among Pacific people. However, targeted prevention strategies among Pacific communities are needed to learn about how to partner with indigenous groups to successfully apply such strategies. The aim of this study was to pilot the Pasifika Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP), which consisted of five interactive learning modules, among 15 Pasifika youth (18-24 years) from Wellington, New Zealand. This…
Cancer Care Decision Making in Multidisciplinary Meetings
Little research has been undertaken on the actual decision-making processes in cancer care multidisciplinary meetings (MDMs). This article was based on a qualitative observational study of two regional cancer treatment centers in New Zealand. We audiorecorded 10 meetings in which 106 patient cases were discussed. Members of the meetings categorized cases in varying ways, drew on a range of sources of authority, expressed different value positions…
Ethnic differences in risk factors for obesity in New Zealand infants
BACKGROUND: In New Zealand, the burden of childhood obesity is greatest in Māori and Pacific children. METHODS: In 687 infants from an internet-based birth cohort in New Zealand, we investigated ethnic differences in early life risk factors for later obesity, the degree to which these were explained by sociodemographic factors, and the extent to which ethnic differences in weight at age 3 months were explained by measured risk factors. RESULTS: T…
Investigating reasons for ethnic inequalities in breast cancer survival in New Zealand
Ethnic disparities in breast cancer survival in New Zealand can be attributed to deprivation and differential access to health care rather than differences in breast cancer subtypes
Characteristics of ovarian cancer in women residing in Aotearoa, New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Few studies have compared ovarian cancer rates between different ethnic groups in the same country. The aim of this study was to describe ethnic patterns in the incidence and mortality of ovarian cancer in New Zealand, and to investigate ethnic and socioeconomic differences in the grade and stage of ovarian cancer. METHODS: Data on all women registered with ovarian cancer on the New Zealand Cancer Registry (1993-2004) were analysed. P…
Improving Access to Health Care Among New Zealand’s Maori Population
The health status of indigenous peoples worldwide varies according to their unique historical, political, and social circumstances. Disparities in health between Maoris and non-Maoris have been evident for all of the colonial history of New Zealand. Explanations for these differences involve a complex mix of components associated with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, availability of health care, and discrimination. Improving access to care is…
Ethnic Inequalities in Cancer Survival in New Zealand
We explored the contribution of stage at diagnosis to ethnic disparities in cancer survival in New Zealand. We linked 115811 adult patients with invasive cancer registered on the cancer registry (1994 to 2002) to mortality data. Age-standardized, 5-year relative survival rates were lowest for Maori, intermediate for Pacific people (otherwise known as Pacific Islanders), and highest for non-Maori/non-Pacific people for many cancers. Stage at diagn…
