Lay summary
This research builds on findings from an HRC Kanohi Kitea Development Grant. Here, the Porirua community outlined that they would like more educational resources on the relationship between oral health and diabetes. As a result, this project will involve developing an oral health promotion resource (book) that aims to inform adults about oral health and diabetes. The book will be informed specifically by the community wānanga transcripts to ensure that the information is relevant and specific to their needs.
