Experiences of New Zealand Māori Mothers’ Engagement with Health and Social Services Post-Covid-19 2020 Lockdown
A Survival Analysis of Mortality in a Housing First Population in Aotearoa New Zealand
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
Ethnic identification from pre-birth to early adolescence
Ethnicity is a dynamic construct that can be expressed differently depending on the respondent, time point, context, and measurement method, thus resulting in intra-individual ethnic mobility. However, little is known about how ethnic mobility varies by ethnic classification method, despite cross-sectional evidence showing the impact of ethnic classification decisions on research. This study examines the stability and change in ethnic identificat…
What About the Kids? Identifying Children in the Housing Support System in Aotearoa, New Zealand
In Aotearoa New Zealand (henceforth referred to as Aotearoa) a range of housing supports are aimed at improving homeownership rates and making both private rental and public housing more available. Despite these “supports”, a large number of children, adolescents and young people are experiencing housing insecurity or severe housing deprivation. Housing intersects with health, education, state care and welfare to influence a range of outcomes for…
Adverse childhood experiences in a pathway to single adult homelessness in Hamilton, New Zealand
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can contribute to housing instability and risk of homelessness, featuring disproportionately in the life histories of many people experiencing homelessness. However, little is known about the prevalence and lifelong impact of ACEs among people experiencing homelessness in New Zealand, a country experiencing increasing homelessness levels amid a housing affordability crisis. Drawing on data from 100 questionnai…
Reflections on the co‐design process of a holistic assessment tool for a Kaupapa Māori antenatal wānanga (workshop)
Co‐designed health initiatives are gaining popularity in Aotearoa (New Zealand). However, emerging research identifies potential pitfalls for Indigenous populations, particularly Māori (Indigenous Peoples of Aotearoa), when Kaupapa Māori principles are ignored. Using the Indigenous He Pikinga Waiora Implementation (HPW) framework as a guide, this paper provides an autoethnographic reflective account of the co‐design process that led to the develo…
Talking, praising and teaching
The foundational skills that children begin formal schooling with are subject to persistent inequities, and can have long-term academic, occupational and health consequences. Early learning is conceptualised as encompassing social, emotional, behavioral and motor functioning in addition to more traditional formal academic skills. Within a large, diverse, longitudinal child cohort - Growing Up in New Zealand - the aims of the current study were to…
Maternal reminiscing during middle childhood
The way that mothers talk about the past (reminisce) with young children is linked to key memory, language, and socioemotional outcomes. The present research explored the role of a range of child, maternal, socioeconomic, and cultural factors that predict maternal reminiscing style, with a particular focus on maternal personality and child temperament. A total of 1,404 mother-child dyads from the prebirth longitudinal cohort study Growing Up in N…
Hapū Wānanga
Global studies attest that early engagement with childbirth education (CBE) classes enhances maternal and infant health outcomes. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori participation rates in CBE classes are lower than those of their non-Māori counterparts. Current CBE classes are designed and delivered using a predominantly Western medicalised approach that negates Māori birthing knowledge, expertise, and values. However, sporadically, Kaupapa Māori CBE…

Meal Provision Needed for Caregivers Who Stay With a Child in Hospital
The provision of meals for primary caregivers when caring for a child in hospital varies across regions in Aotearoa [New Zealand]. Where meals are not provided, caregivers are expected to bring their own food from home and/or purchase food from on-site (or nearby) vendors. Twenty-four qualitative interviews with 15 Maaori (Maaori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa comprising 16.5% of the national population) whaanau [family/families] from one …
Service usage by a New Zealand Housing First cohort prior to being housed
These preliminary findings show the homeless population have important service delivery needs and a very high level of interaction with government services. This highlights the importance of analysing the contributing factors towards homelessness; for evaluation of interventions such as Housing First, and for understanding the need for integrated systems of government policy and practice to prevent homelessness. This paper also provides the basel…
The association between maternal and partner experienced racial discrimination and prenatal perceived stress, prenatal and postnatal depression
BACKGROUND: A growing number of studies document the association between maternal experiences of racial discrimination and adverse children's outcomes, but our understanding of how experiences of racial discrimination are associated with pre- and post-natal maternal mental health, is limited. In addition, existent literature rarely takes into consideration racial discrimination experienced by the partner. METHODS: We analysed data from the Growin…
Estimating language skills in Samoan- and Tongan-speaking children growing up in New Zealand
The MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventory (short form) was adapted for Samoan and Tongan speakers in New Zealand. The adaptation process drew upon language samples from Samoan and Tongan parent–child dyads with 20- and 26-month-old children and adult informants. The resulting 100-word language inventories in Samoan and Tongan, plus a single question about word combinations, were then administered to over 600 mothers of 2-year-olds i…
