Programme workstreams

Tamariki Pakari's research philosophy transects the boundaries between health intervention and prevention. As a team, we are positioned at the interface of Indigenous knowledge and inquiry, and prevailing healthcare and Western scientific models.

Tamariki Pakari's child health and wellbeing programme currently has 5 key themes:

• community outreach and workforce development,
• healthy environments (prevention),
• healthy lifestyle clinical services (intervention),
• participant interface with the healthcare system, and
• health systems change and implementation.

These themes aim to explore the social determinants of health and health systems themselves with the goal of developing culturally appropriate, equitable, successful health delivery models that are person-centred, engaging with the communities that they are part of.
