Counties Manukau Health Alcohol Harm Minimisation Programme. Evaluation Report 2020 (published 2021) (PDF, 2.1 MB)
Since 2016, CM Health has developed and implemented an Alcohol Harm Minimisation Programme, which focuses on alcohol as a key determinant of population health, wellbeing and equity outcomes, and prioritises prevention and early intervention actions. This report describes the programme evaluation that was undertaken during 2020. The evaluation aimed to describe and understand success and quality aspects of the programme, to support future work. It was a non-experimental, mixed method, process and outcome evaluation addressing key evaluation questions. Overall, the evaluation supports retaining many of existing programme components. There were also aspects that didn’t work so well and the report provides recommendations for improvements. Key areas for strengthening include Maaori governance of the programme to ensure accountability of Te Tiriti o Waitangi commitments and sustainability of partnerships with Maaori, and developing systems and processes to address implicit and explicit biases among staff.
Alcohol ABC Approach (i.e. Ask about alcohol use, give Brief advice, and offer Counselling or other help for alcohol if needed) is a model which enables front-line health and social workers to have conversations with patients/clients about alcohol. This report outlines the findings of an evaluation of a project which aimed to adapt, implement, and refine the Alcohol ABC Approach with social workers at Family Success Matters, a Social Service Agency in South Auckland. The project was a collaborative partnership between Counties Manukau Health and Family Success Matters and was funded by Te Hiringa Hauora/Health Promotion Agency.
Alcohol-Involved Emergency Department Encounters and Hospital Admissions at Middlemore Hospital in 2018 (2019)
(PDF, 1 MB)
This report presents information on alcohol-involved Emergency Department encounters and hospital admissions at Middlemore Hospital during 2018. It shows that alcohol use was associated in 2018 with substantial harms and inequities for people and that alcohol creates a significant burden and cost for hospital services.

Counties Manukau Health Alcohol-Related Harm Profile (2018)
(PDF, 2.8 MB)
Alcohol causes more harm than any other drug in society. Physical, psychosocial, and economic harms affect individuals, families/whaanau, and the wider community. This report presents a profile or ‘data picture’ of hazardous alcohol use and alcohol-related harm in the Counties Manukau population. It frames alcohol-related harm from a Te Tiriti o Waitangi perspective, explores various data sources (mainly health datasets), and describes selected indicators of alcohol-related harm. Of particular note and great concern are inequities in alcohol-related harms, with Maaori, males, young people, and people living in socio-economically deprived areas being most affected. CM Health has also published a Position Statement ‘Reducing harms from alcohol in our communities’ (2017) which is available here.

Demography of Asian community living in the rohe of the Northern Region District Health Boards (2022)
(PDF, 1.9 MB)
While nearly thirty percent of the Northern Region population identify with an ethnicity within the ‘Asian’ group, it is clear that the composition of this aggregated group differs substantially across the rohe.

This report describes the demography of Asian communities living in the rohe of the Northern Region District Health Boards to inform the planning, funding, and implementation of health services. The information presented points to the need for the health system to develop a more nuanced understanding of the diverse health profiles and experiences of Asian communities locally, regionally, and nationally.

Mental health and addictions issues are a growing concern in New Zealand and worldwide. They can have major implications for the person affected themselves but also for whaanau and families, friends and the wider community. This analysis of the populations who have received care for mental health disorders in the Counties Manukau area has been undertaken to inform service development and assist the DHB to match services to the needs of our population. This work provides useful information for planning; however it also raises many questions. It is anticipated that there will be much benefit from consideration and interpretation of these reports by those working with people receiving mental health care, others in the health sector and our communities. It is presented in two companion reports:.
