Summary of publication
This report:
presents the findings of a study investigating the impact of using total response ethnicity (compared to prioritised ethnicity) when analysing the 2002/03 New Zealand Health Survey
discusses some of the methodological challenges in presenting results by total response ethnic groups
makes recommendations for best practice for PHI, for the presentation of key descriptive results from the New Zealand Health Monitor surveys.
This study found that there was little difference in results when using prioritised or total response ethnic groups to analyse the 2002/03 New Zealand Health Survey. This information contributed to the decision to output the key descriptive analyses of the 2006/07 New Zealand Health Survey as total response ethnicity, rather than prioritised ethnicity.
