What Are Some Examples of Epidemiological Studies Incorporating Taha Whānau?
Several studies have successfully incorporated aspects of taha whānau to understand its impact on health. For instance, research on mental health in Māori communities often includes assessments of family support and community ties. Studies on chronic disease management, such as diabetes care, have also looked at how family involvement can improve adherence to treatment and lifestyle modifications. These studies highlight the importance of considering social and familial factors in health research and interventions.
