Ethnicity 2

Variable Description

Name

moh_can_ethnicity_2_code ^en-NZ

Label

Ethnicity 2 ^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.

Notes: Ethnicity fields in the NZCR datamart are determined by running an algorithm across the ethnicity fields in the NHI, Mortality Collection and National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) to maximise the selection of meaningful ethnic codes and minimise the selection of default codes such as ‘Not Known’.
