Parental education and hospitalisations among Pacific children: A cross-sectional study using linked administrative data in New Zealand's Integrated Data Infrastructure.

For Pacific children in Aotearoa New Zealand under 20 years of age, this study investigates whether parental education is protective in terms of hospitalisations. For 139,686 Pacific and 659,055 other (non-Māori/non-Pacific) children, a population data extract for them and their parents was used from linked 2013 Census, health and demographic data. Binary indicators of incidence of hospitalisations between 1 March 2013 and 28 February 2018 were analysed using modified Poisson regression models with robust standard errors.

Part II: using an integrated case model for delivering mental health services in general practice for Pacific people.

Objective: To discuss an alternative model for delivering mental health services to Pacific people in general practice.

Methods: Review of primary healthcare models which attempt to integrate behavioural healthcare with general practice.

Results: There is some evidence that relationship-based collaborative models may improve both mental and physical health.

Pacific models of mental health service delivery in New Zealand: Part I: What do we know about Pacific mental health in New Zealand? A narrative review.

Objective: To update measures of mental disorders and service use in Pacific people living in New Zealand.

Method: A narrative review was conducted of available data on the prevalence of mental disorder, psychotropic drug prescribing and service use by Pacific people.

Results: The 12-month prevalence of mental disorders in Pacific people was similar to European/Other in 2004.
