About this research
This research project integrated two distinct but complementary pieces of research to amplify the voices of young Māori who entrusted their experiences, opinions, and ideas to the two research teams; and to speak back to those who might implement change for them. The two projects were the National Secondary School Youth Health Survey Youth2000, and Youth First, a major Marsden funded project headed by Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith. The aim was to create a multidisciplinary research alliance that could begin to talk across disciplinary boundaries to inform community issues.

Coined by a carer, 'the great paydays of caring' captures the essence of reciprocal love between the carer and their whānau. A phrase by another carer became a key theme – care means love.
