Abstract

New Zealand has a large research database called the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). The IDI contains linked microdata about people and households from a wide range of authoritative datasets and surveys originating in and outside government. The GeoHealth Laboratory at the University of Canterbury in collaboration with the New Zealand Ministry of Health supports policymakers and stakeholders across the New Zealand health system through several IDI research projects. One such project aims to determine how an individual’s place of residence and the frequency of residential movement can affect access to regionally-provided health and community services. The presented case study examines the relationships between limited or irregular interaction with health services and potential drivers such as low-engagement, non-enrolment or transience during the study period (August 2013 - July 2018).
