Healthier Lives – He Oranga Hauora
2019-2024 Research Strategy
To develop Healthier Lives’ 2019–2024 Research Strategy we consulted community partners, stakeholders, policy-makers and researchers, national and international experts, and interested members of the general public.
At the heart of the strategy is a vision of Aotearoa New Zealand with equitable health outcomes and a substantially reduced burden of non-communicable diseases.
Scoping and Prioritising Research
Our 2019-2024 research portfolio is a mix of continuing and new research. To commission new research we undertook a series of scoping and prioritising exercises:
- Healthy food and physical activity environments workshop report [PDF 2 MB]
- Culturally-centred health interventions for Māori hui report [PDF 2 MB]
- Culturally-centred health interventions for Pacific peoples fono report [PDF 1MB]
