      Abstract
      The impact of alcohol and other drug

      problems for Māori is well documented.

      Substance use has been implicated in a

      range of physical and mental health

      problems, and a variety of negative social

      statistics such as high rates of imprisonment. To date there has been

      little systematic documentation of treatment

      practices, and limited operationalisation of

      Māori health frameworks. The evaluation

      of the outcomes of alcohol and other drug

      treatments is an area in which there is a

      paucity of documentation, in terms of

      methods and frameworks for evaluation,

      and actual data. Te Aka Roa O Te Oranga (TAROTO)

      was developed from a range of projects

      undertaken by the National Addiction

      Centre. The TARATO evaluation framework

      embraces a holistic perspective: developed

      to examine the interaction between the

      client, whānau, practitioner, and

      service/organisation. The aim of the

      framework is to clarify the complex

      relationships and interactions between

      stakeholders within the context of

      treatment. It will also help to elucidate the

      strengths and weaknesses of individual

      services. Within this framework, a range of

      indicators and outcomes of “successful

      treatment” will be explored. The current project is the first phase of

      a broader project that will make a

      significant contribution to improvements in

      Māori health via further developing

      effective treatments of alcohol and other

      drug related problems.
