Māori results:
As per the 2018 census, 23.9% of the population in the catchment area
of the tertiary hospital are of Māori ethnicity. 34% of our respondents
were Māori. Overall, as shown in Table 3, Māori participants were
younger than non-Māori. They were less likely to have heard about RLP
and had lower rates of unexplained abdominal pain than non-Māori. Māori
who had heard of RLP were more likely to have heard about it online
rather than from a medical carer. Māori participants were more likely to
cite whānau, family and friends as a source of information compared to
non-Māori.
