Abstract
This chapter focuses on longitudinal and lifecourse research in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our brief unpacking of the Pacific Islands Families Study as a longitudinal and lifecourse research takes into consideration today’s context. A longitudinal lifecourse approach recognises the significant developmental factors across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood that affect Pacific health and wellbeing outcomes. The Pacific Islands Families Study utilises this understanding to support Pacific families to be successful and lead fulfilling and productive lives in Aotearoa New Zealand.Description
