The Mauri Mahi, Mauri Ora, Mauri Noho, Mauri

Mate: Health Effects of Unemployment, is a major

research portfolio for Te Ropū Rangahau Hauora a

Eru Pōmare based at the Wellington School of

Medicine. The portfolio provides a comprehensive

multi-method approach to study the health effects of

unemployment. The Centre believes this is necessary

to optimise policy outcomes and to effectively inform

intervention planning. This paper presents the piloting

of the Memorywork method within the context of the

qualitative study of the unemployment portfolio and

kaupapa Māori research. It examines some of the

health consequences of unemployment and in

particular unemployment and Māori, and the use of

the Memorywork method as a tool for Māori health

research.
