Ethnicity group code

Variable Description

Name

moh_can_eth_priority_grp_code ^en-NZ

Label

Ethnicity group code ^en-NZ

Description

Ethnicity is the ethnic group or groups people identify with or feel they belong to. Thus, ethnicity is self-perceived and people can belong to more than one ethnic group. Where more than one ethnic group is reported, the Statistics NZ prioritisation algorithm is used to report only a single ethnicity.

Notes: See National Minimum Data Set on the MOH website for information about the Statistics NZ prioritisation method and other aspects of the collection of ethnicity data
