Growing Up in New Zealand (GUiNZ) is the largest contemporary longitudinal study of child development in Aotearoa New Zealand. The aim of the study was to recruit a large, socioeconomically and ethnically diverse cohort of children, with successful recruitment of 1246 pregnant Māori women. This paper describes the development and operationalisation of the GUiNZ Kaitiaki principles which provide a framework for ensuring that Māori rights and aspirations for research and policy development are upheld as part of the study. We also consider how the Kaitiaki principles might inform the next phase of GUiNZ, particularly with respect to the potential guardianship role that rangatahi (young people) should have as their contribution to the study expands. Finally, this commentary seeks to highlight the significant opportunities that Māori values and philosophies bring to longitudinal research in Aotearoa including through strengthening our connections with whānau and Maori communities.
“新西兰成长研究”(Growing Up in New Zealand,简称GUiNZ)是新西兰当代规模最大的儿童发展纵向研究。该研究的目的是招募一个规模庞大、社会经济背景和种族多样化的儿童队列,成功招募了1246名怀孕的毛利妇女。本文描述了GUiNZ守护者原则的制定和实施情况,这些原则为确保毛利人在研究和政策制定方面的权利及愿望作为研究的一部分得到维护提供了框架。我们还思考了守护者原则如何为GUiNZ的下一阶段提供指导,特别是随着年轻人(rangatahi)对研究的贡献不断扩大,他们应发挥的潜在监护作用。最后,本评论旨在强调毛利价值观和理念为新西兰纵向研究带来的重大机遇,包括通过加强我们与家庭(whānau)和毛利社区的联系。
