Health of Children & Young People with Chronic Conditions & Disabilities in Counties Manukau
Produced by the Paediatric Society for CMDHB, this report reviews a range of routinely collected data on children and young people in Counties Manukau, with a view to identifying the numbers of children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilities accessing health services within the region. In addition, given a trend towards deinstitutionalisation and a greater emphasis on community care, the in-depth topics consider common areas of unmet need for families caring for children and young people with chronic conditions and disabilities, as well as the impact health and disability support services may have on their wellbeing.

ISBN: 978-0-473-17243-5 (Internet)
This study by Assoc. Prof. Robert Scragg was commissioned by the Northern DHB Support Agency (NDSA) on behalf of the Auckland Regional Settlement Strategy Health Steering group which represents Waitemata, Auckland and Counties Manukau District Health Boards.

The large number of Asian participants has allowed analyses of the health status of the main Asian communities - Chinese, South Asian and Other Asian - covering sociodemographic status; health risk and protective factors (lifestyle), chronic disease and utilisation of health services. It is the first report to describe national data on the health status of children from the main Asian communities in New Zealand.

Ethnic-Specific Health Needs Assessment for Pacific People in Counties Manukau - 189p

The most extensive health status comparison attempted to date between the four largest Pacific ethnic groups living in Counties Manukau and New Zealand (e.g. Samoans, Cook Islanders, Tongans, and Niueans are compared to each other rather than simply grouping all Pacific people together). This Health Needs Assessment has specific chapters on demography and socioeconomic circumstances, risk factors, health outcomes, adult healthcare utilisation, child health and women’s/maternal health.

The Determinants of Child and Youth Health in Counties Manukau - 186p
Produced by the Paediatric Society for CMDHB, this report follows on from the previous child and youth report (Jan 2006). It investigates the detail behind some of the data in that report, exploring why differences between groups come about, and identifying potential intervention points for future health disparity strategy development. This report also seeks to bring together information from a variety of different sources and agencies lying outside the health sector.

CMDHB Progress 2001-2006 - 28p

Health of Older People - 179p
ISBN 0-958-22604-0
This profile provides demographic and health measures illustrating the diversity of the current cohort of people aged 65 years and over in CMDHB. The outlook for CMDHB older persons is very positive. It is anticipated that the population aged 65 years and over will live longer and be increasingly characterised by ongoing independence, continued participation in work, home and community, and health for a longer proportion of their older age than their predecessors. The increasing numbers of older people aged 85 years and over, increasing numbers of Asian, Maori and Pacific peoples, the high proportion of women in older age and likely increase in demand on health services are principal policy considerations for CM.
There is considerable scope for health gain and this data will help to inform the local HOP strategy to best meet the current and projected CMDHB older population health.
Child and Youth Health - 176p
Produced by the Paediatric Society for CMDHB this report covers areas such as mortality, hospitalisations, low birth weight, breastfeeding, hearing loss, oral health, asthma, and suicide and injuries. 0-24 year olds are included. This group makes up nearly a third of the CMDHB population; an understanding of the factors that contribute to their wellbeing is essential for ensuring the health of our people.
