520 _aInternational research shows ‘minority’ culture and indigeneity are risk factors for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and for differential responses by rehabilitation services. New Zealand epidemiological studies align with those findings showing that Māori tamariki (children) and taiohi (adolescents) are significantly over represented in TBI populations with poorer outcomes, including higher mortality rates. This study asked two questions. Firstly, what do Māori people say about tamariki and taiohi TBI in the context of the Māori cultural belief that the head is the most sacred part of the body? Secondly, how could this information be used to build theory and inform a framework to address the rehabilitation needs of this group? Eighteen marae wānanga (culture specific fora in traditional meeting houses) were held in urban, rural and remote locations. Participation in these marae wānanga established an overt collective Māori cultural orientation at the entry point of the study. This collective view meant that marae themselves were considered as respondents. Data were analysed using Rangahau Kaupapa Māori (Māori indigenous research methods) and informed by elements of grounded theory. (From the abstract). Record #9190
