  26. In Summary • Monitoring the health of Pacific children and young people in New Zealand allows consideration of where health resources may best be spent • Higher proportion of both Pacific births and teenage births in NZ occur in most deprived areas • Teenage pregnancy in NZ associated with higher rates of both smoking in pregnancy and SUDI • Need to address the economic environments in which teenage mothers and their children live, as well as providing resources to assist with smoking cessation and SUDI prevention

  27. Questions for Discussion • Is comparable monitoring of child and youth health occurring in other Pacific nations? • If so, is there potential for a greater sharing of expertise / monitoring methods / approaches to data collection? • Is the current information on child and youth health in the Pacific sufficient? • If not, what types of information would be required to assist policy development and the evidence based planning of services? • Any other issues for discussion?
