Health promoting and demoting consumption: What accounts for budget share differentials by ethnicity in New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Health demoting consumption of alcohol and tobacco are some of the most important risk factors for health loss worldwide, however there is limited information on these consumption risk factors in New Zealand (NZ) and whether inequities in the risk factors are ethnically patterned.

description | BACKGROUND: Health demoting consumption of alcohol and tobacco are some of the most important risk factors for health loss worldwide, however there is limited information on these consumption risk factors in New Zealand (NZ) and whether inequities in the risk factors are ethnically patterned. METHODS: We used three nationally representative Household Economic Survey waves (2006/07, 2009/10, 2012/13) (n = 9030) in NZ to examine household expenditure for key health risk-related components of consumption by ethnicity, and its contributors to the differences using non-parametric, parametric and decomposition methods. RESULTS: Māori households (NZ indigenous population) were significantly poorer (25% less) than non-Māori households in terms of household per capita expenditure. However, our various econometric estimations suggested that, in relative terms, Māori spent more on tobacco and alcohol, and less on healthcare. The gaps become larger at upper quantiles of the budget share distributions; the composition effect (the gap due to differences in individual and household characteristics between Māori and non-Māori) explains most of the tobacco and alcohol budget share gap between the two groups, and less for healthcare. The structure effect (the gap due to returns to/or effect of individual and household characteristics) contributes very little to the budget share gap for tobacco and drink, but increasingly and predominantly when moving along the distribution of healthcare budget share. The differences between Māori and non-Māori in household ownership, education, and income negatively affect budget share on these health demoting consumption (tobacco and alcohol). The household head's age, education, and employment contributed most to the structure effect. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggested ethnic inequities in the health risk consumption behaviour are evidenced in NZ. Interventions targeting education and employment that significantly affect household budget shares on risk factors (i.e., harmful consumption) for health loss may help narrow the gaps. |
