Lay summary
The whakapapa of our health system is based on a westernized world view, an approach that has failed Māori. Māori experience less access to injury and rehabilitation services including primary health care, hospital care, and accident and disability support services such as ACC. This study will use a Kaupapa Māori approach to prioritise the whakaaro and mātauraka of Māori post-musculoskeletal injury.
