Research
Anna Latu has a range of research interests including Māori health, cultural competence, Māori health workforce development, social and behavioural cancer prevention, and physical activity and health issues for the next generation.
Anna has current research collaborations with the Social and Behavioural Research Unit (Hauora Māori PI), the Māori Health Workforce Development Unit, and the Next Generation Studies – Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Research Unit.
Anna has recently completed her Master of Public Health, looking at Cultural Competency for Health Researchers. Her study not only looked at the literature on cultural competence and safety, but also created (with the use of action research methodology) an intervention that was piloted with a small group of researchers in the Social and Behavioural Research Unit (SBRU).
