These interviews focused on nutrition, stress levels, parenting skills and the physical environment. At the same time, the Ministry conducted a literature review (#5925) considering New Zealand and international literature on the experiences of younger mothers, their perceptions of the issues they face as well as their views on what would work best to improve their situation.
