This paper addresses how Asian families in NZ interact with health information and health services from before the baby is born to when the baby is 9 months old. We’ll look at such things as attitudes to health care, the way health care and information is delivered, and the impact of factors like language, migration history, community support and cultural beliefs.
We hope to provide a better understanding of the health needs of our rapidly growing and changing Asian population. This paper is planned to be the first in a series, to be expanded on with future longitudinal data sets.
