Research Mortality outcomes and inequities experienced by rural Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand Mortality outcomes and inequities experienced by rural Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand Sue Crengle, Gabrielle Davie, Jesse Whitehead, Brandon de Graaf, Ross Lawrenson & Garry Nixon This paper is the first to use the new Geographic Classification of Health to examine rural:urban differences and demonstrates how the GCH will impact health policy and research going forward. Crengle et al. confirm that Māori living rurally face greater mortality incidence rates than non-Māori or urban-based Māori whereas previous studies, using older classifications, found rural Māori mortality was comparable to that of Māori living in metropolitan areas This was originally published on the Leaning on Fence Posts Blog here.
