TL;DR
Assessment of prevalence of experiences of self-reported racial discrimination in Māori and Europeans and the effect of adjustment for experience of racial discrimination and deprivation on ethnic inequalities for various health outcomes concluded that interventions and policies to improve Mâori health and address these inequalities should take into account the health effects of racism.
Abstract
Racism, both interpersonal and institutional, contributes to Māori health losses and leads to inequalities in health between Māori and Europeans in New Zealand. Interventions and policies to improve Māori health and address these inequalities should take into account the health effects of racism.
