Definitions
Tikanga and kawa – the context of the inquiries is limited to the local rohe or takiwā.
Where local rohe are also occupied by a number of other iwi or hapū, the tangata
whenua or mana whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should
be encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori kaupapa,
tikanga, kawa and take.
Sociocultural factors – refer to factors that have a cultural base and influence the way
in which people live their lives.
2
Health status, by convention, is measured with markers such as death rate, hospital
utilisation and life expectancy. For the purposes of this unit standard other factors
that influence Māori women’s health status are to be considered. These key areas
include socioeconomic environment, health behaviours, and access to health care
and sociocultural factors.
