Abstract
This paper seeks to clarify Te Aka Whai Ora’s positioning on the issues that should be considered by the organisation and its key health stakeholders, when undertaking or assessing quantitative data analyses associated with Māori health and health inequities. This report focuses on quantitative data analysis of national datasets, but there will be instances where the best approach or methods will be different e.g., qualitative studies, quantitative at the local level, independent research projects.
