Lay summary
This proposal is based on a research project regarding Pacific meat workers in Oamaru, Otago. During this project, we will be asking about the effect that this occupation has on their health and wellbeing and their access to healthcare. This research is important as not a lot is known about this area of Pacific health. The data for this research will be gathered through talanoa styled interviews with Pacific meat workers in this community. Key themes within these findings will then be used to inform future research questions and next steps for this programme of work with the Oamaru community.
