Abstract:

This report is based on an Indicator Framework common to all New Zealand Child and Youth Epidemiology Service reports, and sit alongside a total population report entitled The Determinants of Health for Children and Young People in New Zealand. Each section in this companion report concludes with a brief overview of local policy documents and evidence-based reviews which consider population level approaches to prevention or management. Such overviews are useful for those contemplating the next steps in addressing the issues reviewed. In exploring the underlying determinants of health for Pacific children and young people, each of the indicators in this year’s report has been assigned to one of four sections:

• The Wider Macroeconomic and Policy Context

• Socioeconomic and Cultural Determinants

• Risk and Protective Factors

• Health Outcomes as Determinants
