What is the Te Rau Hinengaro - New Zealand Mental Health Survey?

The Te Rau Hinengaro - New Zealand Mental Health Survey, collects information on the prevalence, severity, impairment and treatment of major mental health disorders.

The final report for Te Rau Hinengaro was published in September 2006.


When is the next Te Rau Hinengaro - New Zealand Mental Health Survey?

The intention is to repeat Te Rau Hinengaro - New Zealand Mental Health Survey every 10 years, with the next data collection in 2013/14.
