Lay summary
This project will use the research findings from Tangata Kōmuramura: Māori Experiences of Eating Disorders project, to develop resources that should help tangata whaiora, their whānau, and clinicians in the identification and management of eating disorders for Māori. The research was the first of its kind to explore: the enablers/barriers to accessing diagnoses and treatment; explanatory factors, experiences of treatment, and what helps with recovery from the perspective of Māori with eating disorders, and their whānau. It is envisaged that the seminal findings could develop resources that support tangata whaiora with eating disorders, their whānau, and clinicians.
