Description
This project was led by Dr Bernadette Jones at the Department of Medicine, University of Otago Wellington. The main focus was a large scale quantitative survey of a sample of 70,000 people of Māori descent from the New Zealand Electoral Rolls. Questions focused on the experience of Māori culture along with the main interest, lived experience of disability. This included a list of terms / kupu that people might use to describe themselves, considering their limitations, along with all of the elements of the Washington Group Short Set (and some additional items), which we could use as a more formal measure of disability.
