Abstract:

This report is based on an Indicator Framework common to all New Zealand Child and Youth Epidemiology Service reports. The report is presented as reference manual, which is divided into three main sections:

• Issues More Common in Infants

• Issues More Common in Children or Common in Children and Young People

• Issues More Common in Young People

For each indicator a “snapshot” of the most recent 5 years of data (hospital admissions 2006–2010; mortality 2004–2008) is provided, which compares rates for Māori children and young people with those of non-Māori non-Pacific children and young people.
