McClintock, K., McClintock, R., & Brown, T. (2016). Cybersafety for an Indigenous Youth Population. Not Applicable, Te Rau Matatini, Wellington.
Abstract: The main focus of this report is to explore the current research relevant to providing better information for Māori whānau (family and families) about social media and the encouragement to be involved with their tamariki (children) in their internet use. Ultimately this study will contribute to the discussion on the prevention of cyberbullying and the prevention in “dare to die” or “risk adverse type games” through employing cybersafety strategies.
An international and national search of applicable documents discussing social media, cyberbullying and cybersafety strategies provides the foundation of this report. A broader examination describes the relationship of cyberbullying and suicide and more importantly strategies to address this concern on the global stage and in the Aotearoa (New Zealand) context. This report will also have a future focus in terms of tamariki and parents themselves contributing to the solutions.

Abstract: In 2014, the first dedicated national Māori Suicide prevention approach coupled with a Pasifika programme was launched, profiled as the Waka Hourua National Suicide Prevention Programme 2014 – 2017 funded by the Ministry of Health. Te Rau Matatini, a national Māori non-government organisation and their Pasifika partner organisation Le Va, established and offered the programme. The “Hoea te waka: Indigenous suicide prevention outcomes framework and evaluation processes” article provides a summation of the outcomes framework and evaluation methodology utilised for the Waka Hourua National Suicide Prevention Programme 2014 – 2017 with particular focus on the 47 Māori community fund projects.

Abstract: The Ka Ao Ka Ao – Postvention for Māori (Indigenous people of Aotearoa/ New Zealand) provides a comprehensive view on the position of suicide for Māori in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Important Māori- driven and Māori centred developments with some focus on youth are needed to move Māori from a state of grief, bereavement and distress to one of being nurtured and flourishing.

McClintock, K. (2003). Te Mauri Kohatu (Vol. Master of Philosophy). Master's thesis, Massey University, .
Abstract: This saying encapsulates the sentiments expressed within this thesis. The major mission of the study is to gather and preserve the tribal knowledge belonging to my iwi Ngati Maniapoto, on Te Mauri Kohatu. The assignment honours the understanding of the traditional beliefs and practises associated with the ancient lore of the Kohatu. Anchoring the practice is the traditional notion that Te Mauri Kohatu were a means to enhance health and wellbeing. This belief has existed for Maori since time immemorial. According to oral traditions the ancestor Tane te Wananga ascended into the Toi o Nga Rangi, the highest realm of the Rangituhaha. From therehe secured the three Kete o te Wananga, the three Baskets of Knowledge. Accompanying this wisdom were two Mauri Kohatu; the Whatukura a Tane and the Whatukura a Tangaroa. Traditions also support the notion that from these two Kohatu came the understanding of the spiritual and healing properties associated with Te Mauri Kohatu.Articulated in the research is a significant body of wisdom gifted by my Ngati Maniapoto elders to benefit the descendants of our iwi, both spiritually and intellectually. Ngati Maniapoto ancestors arrived in Aotearoa / New Zealand on board the voyaging waka Tainui.The safe delivery and continued existence, of my ancestors in this land was credited to their belief in the power and the force of Te Mauri Kohatu. The ancient lore of the Kohatu guided their movements on both land and sea. Ngati Maniapoto ancestors have, throughout the generations, perpetuated the ancient lore of the Kohatu in our Ngati Maniapoto tribal homelands. The writing of my thesis is an opportunity to gather, retain and celebrate our knowledge, our heritage that will advance the health and wellbeing of the descendants of Ngati Maniapoto now and in times to come.

McClintock, K. (2009). Te Tomokanga : acceptable child and adolescent mental health services for Māori in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Ph.D. thesis, University of Auckland, .
Abstract: Whakarāpoto: Abstract Aim My aim was to investigate and compare the acceptability of mainstream, bicultural and kaupapa MÄori Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) access and delivery to young Māori and their whānau. I have also explored what wouldconstitute a good service for Māori as defined by Māori. Method A kaupapa Māori (Māori driven) research paradigm, based on the Pōwhiri process of engagement and participation guided both the quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The study involved three phases which included the:i) Te Ara Whanui, a questionnaire based quantitative phase with participants using Te Tomokanga, a reliable, validated survey modified for this study, from the Youth Services Survey for Families (YSSF)2.ii) Whaia te Ara Whanui, a sequential whānau interview based qualitative phase that involved self chosen participants, respondents from the Te Ara Whanui phase; and iii) Te Hononga, a concurrent whÄnau interview based qualitative phase that involved self chosen participants who only consented to a face to face interview. Results & Discussion The Te Tomokanga survey was completed by 168 respondents out of 1362 eligible for participation from the six District Health Boards (DHBs) CAMHS of the Midland health region3. The low response rate occurred after mailing out information. This may mean that mailing out to MÄori may not be an effective process. It is possible that Māori respond better to face to face contact and people they know and this is likely to be a more effective process of engagement as was the case in this study.1 Whānau, parents and caregivers are terms used interchangeably in this thesis.2 This survey was used to measure satisfication with CAMHS in the United States (Riley & Stromberg, 2001). I contacted Dr Molly Brunk who developed the YSSF and she agreed for me to make adaptions to the YSS_F for the purpose of this study.3 Midlands health region includes Waikato, Taranaki, Lakes, Bay of Plenty and Tai Rawhiti DHBsiii The majority of surveys (69.70%) were completed through telephone follow up with the whÄnau than through just mailing out the survey. Given these results telephone contact with whānau maybe a more effective process of connection than mail outs.I have shown through the survey, although with some constraints, that the respondants in this study had similiar levels of acceptance of the three service types; mainstream, bicultural and kaupapa MÄori. For these whānau, acceptability of services was shown to be related to whÄnau involvement, service delivery that takes into account cultural differences, accessible clinic venues for appointments and understanding that medication would help, all at statistically significant levels.
