Tupuānuku research
Conducted by Otago University researchers, this work offers a unique view of New Zealand’s mental health and addiction data, particularly in relation to accessing healthcare services. The outcomes will inform future policy, workforce development, and resource allocation for practitioners, policymakers, and individuals with lived experiences.
