N2  - "The Health Needs Assessment of Asian people living in the Auckland region report is the most comprehensive review to date of the differences in health status and service access for the diverse Asian communities living in Auckland. The report presents data sourced from both nationally and regionally collected datasets, as well as health service provider interviews which provide additional insights to those offered by the quantitative data. Importantly, the report includes analyses of health issues that have not previously been addressed in detail for Asian communities in Auckland, such as health of older people, family violence, patient safety and disability.
Averaging the health outcomes of the Asian subgroups, through use of ‘Asian’ as a single ethnic group, has led to the
misconception that Asian communities have better health status in most respects compared to other ethnic groups in New
Zealand. This report demonstrates that, particularly in relation to chronic diseases, some Asian groups have high health needs and disparities in health service access which appear to be increasing over time. It also appears that mental illness, settlement stress and lack of knowledge of the health system are important issues among Auckland Asian communities." (from the Foreword)
Family violence and elder abuse/neglect is covered in section 12 (p.55 - 58)
