Research
Research and evaluation are key for the HSC. Research and evaluation the HSC undertakes includes:
 |
Formative research for new programmes. This includes reviews of national and international evidence and New Zealand consumer research to determine and understand people's needs and to establish the best ways to deliver information and support people. |
|
|
Robust evaluation and monitoring of existing programmes to ensure they continue to be effective. In this way we are able to adjust our programmes to continue to be relevant to our consumers' needs.
|
|
Leading research to inform the programmes of HSC and others. This includes such things the biennial Health and Lifestyles Survey to track the impact of HSC's programmes and the annual youth tobacco survey that is undertaken with ASH.

Problem Gambling
The Gaming and Betting Activities Survey 2006/07: New Zealanders' knowledge, views and experiences of gambling and gambling-related harm is part of the Ministry of Health's response to problem gambling.
The survey of almost 2000 people collects information about attitudes, knowledge, behaviours and protective practices in relation to gambling and gambling harm.
The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the impact of public health activities, including the social marketing programme, and to inform the planning and funding of future public health services to prevent and minimise gambling harm.
The Gaming and Betting Activities Survey 2006/07 survey report [PDF, 251 pages, 3.4MB] provides baseline information. It was carried out by National Research Bureau for the HSC.
