Part I - Health and Human Development Models: Maori, Philippine, Western - presents maps of these cultures which explains the orientations of peoples' view of health and development.    The Philippine model shows a strong influence of family, community barangay [village] and church in Filipinos' development and wellbeing. The Western model is represented by Bronfenbrenner's ecological model which includes the following environmental systems: microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. The Maori model of human development is represented by an octopus – Te Wheke with feeder tentacles representing the total development of the Maori individual within the context of Maori family and community. There is also a special section on rangatahi – Maori youth, discussing some of their health issues and Maori view of health.    Part II – Samoan Health and Development: Conceptualization and Models – introduces background of Samoans living in New Zealand. It includes present concerns about their health, particularly issues of diabetes and high blood pressure.

Parts III and IV concentrate on a study of 40 Samoan women living in New Zealand, their views on health and provision of health services for them.
