Issues in monitoring Māori health and ethnic inequalities: an update

Ethnicity data is essential to the measurement and monitoring of Māori health and inequalities in health status, experiences, and outcomes in New Zealand.

Issues in monitoring Māori health and ethnic disparities: an update is one in a series of topic-based discussion papers considering ethnicity data issues.

It discusses technical and practical issues that relate to the monitoring of Māori health and ethnic inequalities in health over time.

It is part of a broader project funded by Te Kete Hauora, Ministry of Health to investigate issues with ethnicity data in New Zealand, and the implications of these for the Māori health and disability sector.
