Summary:	Spotlights the higher rates of many diseases and lower life expectancy of Māori men. Highlights the health care factors including reluctance to consult doctors to partly explain the disparities in health between Māori men and other population groups. Draws on a focus group discussion with Māori community health workers to provide a preliminary analysis of how some Māori people access and use medications.
