Abstract

Kaupapa Māori research methodology

demands practical outcomes of tangible

benefit to Māori. This paper reflects on the

steps taken to ensure benefit resulted from

my PhD research on the

cessation of Māori smoking behaviour, and I ask where is that

benefit now?

Ensuring benefit starts before the

project begins when the idea is conceived.

Thus, I first reflect back to the birth of the

idea. Then the consultation undertaken,

and the conduct of the research, is reviewed

with a utilisation focus. The personal costs

undertaking research are then considered

the sections looking at contribution and

career. Finally, the question from the title

this paper is posed. Examples of the

barriers to strategic action, such as,

competition and the difficulty of achieving

consensus are presented. Finally, the

consequences of the research are outlined.
