Maori responsiveness in health and medical research: key issues for researchers (part 1).

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Application for contestable government-research funding and ethical approval requires researchers to outline how their intended research project contributes to Maori development or advancement. METHODS AND RESULTS: When formulating their research proposals, the key issues for researchers are research utility, defining Maori, informed consent, confidentiality, issues with human tissues and genetic material, participant remuneration and recognition (koha), intellectual property, and involvement of local Maori health or social services. CONCLUSIONS: The most common Maori responsiveness issues in research applications can be readily approached by researchers who address straightforward methodological concerns, by working through precedents established by peers and colleagues, as well as by working with end-users of their research.
