Some studies suggest that ethnic minority people are healthier when they live in areas with a higher concentration of from their own group, so-called density effect. To date, no have examined the effect among indigenous peoples, for whom connections to land, patterns settlement, and drivers residential location may differ populations. The present study analysed Māori sample 2006/07 New Zealand Health Survey examine association between increased density, area deprivation, health, experiences...

Racism may affect health through differential access to, and quality of, healthcare. This study examined associations between experience of racism unmet need satisfaction with healthcare.Cross-sectional analysis the 2011/12 adult New Zealand Health Survey (n=12,596) was undertaken.

Study Objectives:To investigate the prevalence of self-reported insomnia symptoms among Mâori (indigenous people) and non-Mâori adults in general population New Zealand. To explore possible links between ethnicity, gender, age, employment status socio-economic deprivation.
Study Objectives:Examine the distribution of symptoms and risk factors, estimate prevalence obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among Māori non-Māori New Zealanders.
In New Zealand, there are significant and long-standing inequalities in a range of health outcomes, risk factors healthcare measures between Māori (indigenous peoples) Pākehā (European). This study expands our understanding racism as determinant such to examine the concept socially-assigned ethnicity (how an individual is classified by others ethnically/racially) its relationship for Māori.

Background While evidence of the contribution racial discrimination to ethnic health disparities has increased significantly, there been less research examining relationships between ascribed racial/ethnic categories and health. It hypothesized that in racially-stratified societies being assigned as belonging dominant group may be associated with advantage. This study aimed investigate associations socially-assigned ethnicity, self-identified health, consider role self-reported experience...
Racial discrimination is recognised as a key social determinant of health and driver racial/ethnic inequities. Studies have shown that people exposed to racism poorer outcomes (particularly for mental health), alongside both reduced access care patient experiences. Most these studies used cross-sectional designs: this prospective cohort study (drawing on critical approaches research) should provide substantially stronger causal evidence regarding the impact subsequent outcomes. Participants...
