Psychological distress and diagnosed mood and anxiety disorders in Pacific adults
This article examines psychological distress and diagnosed mood and anxiety disorders in Pacific adults, comparing against non‐Māori non‐Pacific (nMnP) adults, and between Pacific subgroups. A sample of adults aged 15 years and over was pooled from five consecutive New Zealand Health Survey years spanning 2014/15–2018/19. Prevalence estimates of psychological distress and doctor‐diagnosed mood and/or anxiety disorders were calculated for Pacific …
Childhood Social Isolation as a Predictor of Retinal Neuronal Thickness in Middle Age
OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether childhood social isolation was associated with retinal neural layer changes in adulthood, and whether this association was independent of other childhood or adulthood risk factors, including adult social isolation. METHODS: Participants were members of the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study, a longitudinal population-based birth cohort from Aotearoa New Zealand ( n = 1037), born 1972 to 1973 …
Child protection inequalities for Pasifika children in Aotearoa New Zealand
Child protection inequalities are population group differences in contact rates, experiences and outcomes of child protection systems. This article reports rates of Pasifika children's contact with the statutory child protection system at three outcomes: substantiation, having a family group conference, (FGC) or entering care (placement), and describes intersections between these outcomes and socio‐economic deprivation. Including all children res…

Facilitators Of, and Barriers To, Whānau Engagement in Kaupapa Māori Early Years Provision
Kaupapa Māori early years provision (KM-EYP) has underpinned efforts to revitalise Māori language and culture throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Although many tamariki and whānau have benefited from engagement in KM-EYP, less than 20% of tamariki Māori currently participate. Kaupapa Māori psychological research is needed to better understand what facilitates participation among whānau who attend KM-EYP. This article describes findings from a study …
Where are we now? Patterns of Māori and Pasifika enrolment in the Natural and Physical Science and Society and Culture fields in Aotearoa New Zealand
The continued underserving of Māori and Pasifika communities by New Zealand universities has resulted in the need to hold universities and the wider tertiary education system to account through widespread data analysis. This paper analyses Māori and Pasifika enrolment in the Society and Culture and Natural and Physical Sciences fields of Aotearoa New Zealand. The data indicate further targeted investment is needed in both fields, however, areas o…
The Efficacy of Preschool Developmental Indicators as a Screen for Early Primary School-Based Literacy Interventions
Literacy success lays the foundation for children's later educational, health, and well-being outcomes. Thus, early identification of literacy need is vital. Using data from New Zealand's national preschool health screening program for fiscal years 2010/2011–2014/2015, demographic and health variables from 255,090 children aged 4 years were related to whether they received a literacy intervention in early primary school. Overall, 20,652 (8.1%) ch…
Glass Ceilings in New Zealand Universities
Māori and Pacific academics make up less than 4% and 1% respectively of New Zealand professors. We investigated ethnic inequities in promotions and earnings in New Zealand universities. Using New Zealand’s Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) data (2003, 2012, 2018) we found that Māori and Pacific men and also women academics, compared with non-Māori non-Pacific men academics, had significantly lower odds of being an associate professor or prof…
Occupations and industries of employment of Māori university graduates
Technological advancements, a changing demography, and labour market demands mean that it is increasingly important to have a skilled Māori labour workforce. Māori students are graduating from universities in increasing numbers but little is known about their careers post‐graduation. Our aim was to describe the early career aspirations and destinations of Māori university graduates in the Graduate Longitudinal Study New Zealand. Data were collect…
Pacific university graduates in New Zealand
Increasing the numbers of Pacific Island students who graduate from New Zealand universities is important for the students' futures, their families, communities and society in general. In this study, Pacific graduates ( N = 365) who are participants in the Graduate Longitudinal Study New Zealand were asked to describe what factors helped or hindered their qualification completion. Graduates from all eight New Zealand universities were surveyed be…
Māori University success
Māori (Indigenous New Zealand) university graduates are role models for educational success and are critical for the social and economic wellbeing of Māori whānau (extended family) and communities. In this study, Māori graduates ( N = 626) from all eight New Zealand universities participated in the Graduate Longitudinal Study New Zealand between July and December 2011. They were asked to describe factors that they found helpful or challenging to …
