NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 91 — 12 SEPTEMBER 2017
| Themes | Outcome statements |
|---|---|
| Maternal health, pregnancy and early childhood | New and existing knowledge is used to understand embryonic, perinatal, infant and child development and the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that impact upon the developmental processes to determine future overall well-being to inform evidence-based interventions. |
| Successful transition into healthy adulthood | Our understanding of human behaviour is enhanced using new and existing knowledge, including the links between the relevant genes and the physical and socio-economic environment, allowing the development of interventions to manage risk, improve health and educational outcomes, and promote resilience in our population. |
| Education, living in the digital world | New and existing knowledge is used to understand the different world in which our children are growing up, and our parenting, educational and employment practices adapted to optimise health, well-being and productivity. The possibilities offered by digital technologies are built on to create a more interactive learning experience for our children, to instil a fascination for science, and to enhance learning and development. |
Note: Developmental is intended to be inclusive, including neurological, physical, psychological, cognitive and social development.
