StatsNZ Data Sharing

Sharing your data with StatsNZ – it’s your choice

You are being asked to consider sharing some of your Growing Up in New Zealand data with Statistics New Zealand (Stats NZ) for use in the large research database called the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI).

We have prepared information sheets that provide more details about this decision. Please read these carefully and talk to your family, whānau, or friends to decide what is best for you and your family.

What you need to do:

  • Please review the participant information sheet below relevant to you.
  • Complete the consent forms that will be emailed to you to let us know what you have decided. Both consent forms should be completed regardless of whether you decide to share or not share your data – this is how you let us know.
