Kaupapa Maori approaches to improve Maori eye health: a protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and aim

Māori experience higher rates of disease and poorer health outcomes than non-Māori, highlighting inequities in the health system in Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa). Māori eye health has historically been under-researched. Kaupapa Māori (by Māori, with Māori, for Māori) approaches to research have been recognised as critical for developing and informing equitable and inclusive health service solutions for Māori. This scoping review aims to summarise the literature on interventions to improve Māori eye health and investigate the extent to which Kaupapa Māori approaches have been used within these studies.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension f
