Abstract

The Ministry of Health B4 School Check (MOH_B4SC) data documents the content of the B4 School Check table that the MOH provides to Stats NZ to use in the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). The MOH_B4SC dataset contains administrative data collected from 2011 to 2013 for four-year olds prior to them starting school in NZ. The B4 School Check aims to promote health and well-being in four-year olds and identify and address concerns that could affect a child’s ability to get the most benefit from school. . B4 School Check documents the content of this dataset that the Ministry of Health (MOH) provides to Statistics New Zealand to use in the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). This dictionary gives information on the variables contained in the dataset from 2011 – including technical information and descriptions.

The MOH seeks to improve, promote, and protect the health of New Zealanders. It does this through its sector leadership of New Zealand’s health and disability system by:

  • advising the Minister of Health, and government as a whole, on health issues
  • directly purchasing a range of important national health and disability support services
  • providing health sector information and payment services for the benefit of all New Zealanders.

The objectives of the MOH’s data and metadata are to:

  • measure and describe the information available within the National Collections
  • promote uniformity, availability, and consistency across the National Collections
  • support the use of nationally agreed protocols and standards wherever possible
  • promote national standard definitions and make them available to users.
