02: Ngati Kapo Seeks Study Participants.
During 2010/2011, Ngati Kāpo O Aotearoa is conducting a national study into kapo (blind or vision impaired) Māori children and young adults up to 21 years old. The aim is to find out how kapo Māori children and young adults, along with their whānau, access eye specialist services, and about kapo Māori children themselves. Ngati Kāpo wants to know how many kapo Māori children and young adults are in New Zealand, about their eye problems and health, and find out if anything is a barrier for them, or their whānau, when seeking an eye specialist or a diagnosis. The project is funded by the Health Research Council.
