Researcher thriving on the challenge to
outsmart viruses
By Suzy Botica
As a young child, Zabeen Lateef was always intrigued by how things worked and, more
importantly, why they worked that way. During school she was good at math and science,
particularly biology as it helped answer questions about where we come from, how we get sick, and
why some people recover from infections and others don’t.
laboratory field. After finishing her
MSc, she was awarded a 2004 HRC
Pacific Health Research Postgraduate
Scholarship to study an orf virus
protein that can reduce inflammation.
“During my PhD, I learnt that viruses
can selectively attract or repel our
immune cells and even reprogramme
them, so that these cells which are
supposed to fight infection end up
helping the virus.”
Currently, Zabeen is studying human
norovirus as part of a 2012 HRC
Pacific Health Research Postdoctoral
Fellowship.
Dr Zabeen Lateef
“Most viral diseases are like a game of
chess played between the virus and the
host,” says Zabeen. “The unfathomable
thing is that we humans are alive,
and our cells are more complex
and advanced. Viruses are just little
parcels of genetic material that are
not technically alive, so how can they
outsmart us?”
Zabeen started off learning about
human viral diseases in the medical
“Noroviruses are a fascinating
challenge – we understand so little
about them because we cannot grow
them in the laboratory. Their genomic
information is encoded by ribonucleic
acid1 rather than DNA, which means
they are smaller and can mutate faster.”
Norovirus outbreaks in New
Zealand cost about $50.5 million to
manage each year. In cases where
hospitalisation is required, studies have
shown that Pacific Island children are

DNA to make proteins in the body
1.5 times more likely to be admitted for
more severe gastroenteritis than other
New Zealand children.
One of the viral proteins found only in
noroviruses is NS1-2. This is the first
protein made when the virus replicates,
but its role is unknown.
“The aim of my project is to
characterise this protein. Once it’s
made inside the cell, where does it go
and what does it do? NS1-2 is an ideal
drug target as the first segment of the
protein is disordered, which gives it the
ability to change shape under different
conditions. This flexibility means
that the protein plays multiple roles
during infection. By making anti-virals
to target this part of the protein, we
should theoretically be able to stop
virus replication.”
Zabeen says the HRC Pacific research
awards that she’s received have had a
big influence on her career, enabling
her to balance family and work
commitments.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky to have the
opportunity to do what I love and still
raise a family.”

Message from the Pacific Health Research
Committee Chair
Conference to be held in Auckland
on 3–5 November 2014 is well
underway. This conference is an
extraordinary opportunity for
interdisciplinary dissemination
of health research, practice, and
knowledge under the broad theme
of Pacific health solutions through
research and practice. Registrations
for the conference open at the end
of July. See the conference website,
pacificconference.hrc.govt.nz for more

Dr Edward Saafi
Malo e lelei, warm Pacific greetings,
and welcome to this June edition of
HRC Pacific News for 2014.
Since our last newsletter, a lot has
happened and it is therefore my
pleasure to give you a brief update on
progress to date.
First, the HRC’s Pacific Health
Research Committee (PHRC) has
successfully completed its strategic
planning for the period 2014–2016.
The Strategic Activities for Pacific
Health Research (2014–2016) document
has now been signed off by the HRC
Board as the agreed strategic road map
forward to help the PHRC achieve its
aims and objectives.
The strategic activities document
consists of four main parts: Part
one consists of the vision statement
‘Optimal health for Pacific peoples’ and
mission statement ‘Pacific solutions
through research’; Part two deals with
responsiveness, or ways in which
decisions relating to Pacific health
research could be influenced; Part three
looks at workforce/research capacity
development; and Part four focuses on
collaborations and partnerships.
Second, the planning for the
International Pacific Health

driven by the PHRC with the help
of the hardworking group members
Dr Tai Sopoaga (Chair), Dr Mele
Taumoepeau, Dr Karlo Mila-Schaaf,
Dr Ieti Lima, and Dr Julia IoaneApaula. This was a necessary piece of
work to update the original document
to reflect new methodologies,
information, and technologies – now
embraced as part of the methodology
repertoire – for Pacific health research.
The revised Pacific Health Research
Guidelines document was launched at
the HRC on Thursday, 5 June.

Revised Pacific Health Research
Guidelines available
On 5 June 2014 the HRC’s
Pacific Health Research
Committee launched
the second edition of the
‘Guidelines on Pacific Health
Research’.
The original guidelines were
developed in 2005 through a process
of wide consultation with relevant
stakeholders, and laid the initial
foundations for considering the ethical
principles of Pacific health research.
Since then, however, the Pacific health
research landscape has changed
significantly.
“There have been huge advancements
in the plethora of methodologies
available for the study of Pacific
people’s health. Hence, there was a
need to update the original guidelines,
to keep pace with, and remain relevant
to the progress in research methodologies that are now being
applied to Pacific health research,” said
Dr Edward Saafi, Chair of the HRC
Pacific Health Research Committee.
This edition of the Pacific Health
Research Guidelines targets both Pacific
and non-Pacific researchers who
are engaged in HRC-funded health
research with Pacific populations
residing in New Zealand and the
realm countries of New Zealand
(Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau).
Researchers conducting non-HRCfunded studies in Pacific communities
may also find this document useful.
The guidelines aim to ensure that
the research undertaken informs
and empowers Pacific peoples about
health research within their own
communities, and their rights as
research participants; provides an
ethical and operational guide for
health research that contributes to the
attainment of the highest level of health
and wellbeing for Pacific peoples in
Pacific research proposal

“Without HRC funding, the supportive
environment at my department, and
the understanding of my family, I could
not have come this far in my research
career. The flexibility to have a family
and do research is a bit like having your
cake and eating it, too!”
Zabeen’s Fijian and Indo-Fijian
cultural background has also played an
important part in how she approaches
her work.

“In Fiji I was part of a multicultural
and multi-religious society. This made
me realise that there are multifaceted
aspects to everything in life. I use this
maxim in my research as well. My
research is multifaceted in the sense
that I study genetics, proteins, cellular
biology, and gut immunology all as
part of a single project.”
In the future, Zabeen hopes to
remain at the University of Otago and
eventually secure enough funding to

“Discoveries in science are only
possible by standing on the shoulders
of giants. There are a lot of scientists
who have forged the path for the next
generation and all we have to do is
follow and build on previous work,
piece by piece, until we see the bigger
picture. I’ve been privileged to work
with great scientists here in New
Zealand, and I hope to leave behind a
similar legacy.”

Study investigates Pacific parent-child
interactions
By Suzy Botica
A HRC-funded study by Miss Manatu Fia, a postgraduate psychology student at Otago University,
provides insights into how Pacific parents influence their children’s social and emotional
development.
“Investigation into the socioemotional
development of our Pacific children
should be a priority so that we can seek
ways in which we can prevent the onset
of behavioural problems. Identifying
what supports healthy socioemotional
development in the Pacific context may
also help in tackling the high Pacific
mental illness rates in New Zealand,”
says Manatu.
Manatu Fia
Manatu, of Tongan-New Zealand
heritage, recently completed the 10week study under the supervision of
Dr Mele Taumoepeau as part of a HRC
Pacific Health Summer Studentship.
Her main aim was to describe the
effects of parent-child interactions
on children’s behaviour in a Pacific
context, an area where there has been a
notable lack of research.
According to the World Health
Organization, family and social
environment play major roles in the
prevalence, onset and course of mental
and behavioural disorders. Behavioural
problems in young children include
internalising (shyness, social
withdrawal and depressive symptoms)
and externalising (aggression, noncompliance, lack of impulse control)
difficulties.
Manatu says it’s important to target
interventions at an early age and
perhaps prevent these problems from
further developing throughout school
and even later in life.
6
In her study, Manatu studied 41 Pacific
families living in New Zealand with
toddlers varying in age from 27 to 37
months. She first tested if the Strengths
and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ)
was a valid measure of emotional
and behavioural problems for Pacific
people.
The SDQ is a universal measure of
children’s psychological wellbeing,
including prosocial behaviours –
positive behaviours intended to help
others (e.g. sharing, cooperating).
To perform the validation test, Manatu
correlated observed child behaviour
with the SDQ scores of the children as
reported by their primary caregivers.
The behavioural interactions recorded
were based on a new coding system
Manatu helped develop to look at
Pacific parent-child interactions.
“Although we didn’t fully validate the
use of the SDQ with Pacific toddlers,
the results were promising,” says
Manatu.
“As expected, there was a negative
correlation between children’s
prosocial skills and their reported
conduct problems. The more the
child is reported to misbehave, the
Health Research Council of New Zealand
Te Kaunihera Rangahau Hauora o Aotearoa
fewer prosocial skills were observed.
There was also a negative correlation
between children’s responses to
physical directions and their reported
hyperactivity.”
Manatu also examined how verbal and
non-verbal (e.g. eye contact, pointing,
facial expressions, touch) interactions
between parent/caregiver and child
might support the development of
prosocial behaviour.
She found caregivers were just as likely
to use verbal as non-verbal interactions
to teach and encourage their child’s
prosocial skill development.
Interestingly, she says the children
in the study were more likely
to voluntarily display prosocial
behaviours when their primary
caregivers used non-verbal
encouragement, rather than when the
caregivers used verbal language.
“If we could identify the specific nonverbal languages involved in Pacific
parent-child interactions then we can
promote these behaviours within our
Pacific families,” says Manatu.
However, the opposite correlations
were found when observing secondary
caregiver-child interactions.
“The mothers were effective in eliciting
voluntary prosocial acts from their
child when they used non-verbal
methods, whereas the secondary
caregivers – mostly fathers – were
more effective when they used verbal
language.”
Manatu says that although causal
implications can’t be made from her
HRC Pacific News June 2014
findings, they do provide insight into
Pacific parent-child interactions. For
example, how children interact with
and learn from their mothers will be
different from how they interact and
learn from their fathers. She says this
should be taken into account when
Manatu received the Cogita Inspiration
Award at the Prime Minister’s Pacific
Youth Awards ceremony in 2013. She
is currently in her Honours year at
Otago University and plans to become
a clinical psychologist, developing
interventions which will help Pacific
people manage mental illness.
developing intervention programmes
for Pacific Island families.
“I know that the knowledge and
practice I’ve gained from doing this
summer studentship will be of great
help in the future. I look forward to
developing this research further.”
Cultural focus could aid recovery from
spinal cord injury
By Suzy Botica
Updating current informational resources to address spiritual and mental wellbeing could help
Pasifika people’s recovery from spinal cord injuries, according to a HRC-funded study by AUT
University student Tainafi Lefono.
may help challenge preconceived ideas
of disability in cultural communities
and clear guidance on where to seek
specific cultural support if required,”
says Tainafi.
Tainafi Lefono
Tainafi’s four-month study, part of a
2014 HRC Pacific Health Research
Summer Studentship, examined
the informational materials that are
routinely given to patients at New
Zealand’s spinal units following a
spinal cord injury (SCI). He found that
these materials were missing culturally
relevant information in some key areas
that could aid the recovery of Pasifika
patients.
“My analysis revealed the absence
of a Pasifika model of health that
incorporates the physical, mental and
spiritual facets of a Pasifika person,
SCI involves lifelong neurological
impairment, which is correlated
with disabilities that affect not just
mobility and sensation, but also other
areas such as sexual function, body
temperature regulation, and bowel and
bladder function. New Zealand has
one of the highest rates of SCI in the
western world, with Pasifika peoples at
increased risk.
As part of his study, Tainafi analysed
four qualitative interviews1 with
Pasifika peoples who had experienced
a SCI. Extracts from the interviews
were grouped into categories related to
the definition of culture2. He identified
five key factors that contribute to the
recovery of Pasifika peoples with a SCI.
These are:
1. Change in roles within the family
and community – changes in these
roles as a result of SCI affected both
male and female participants
2. Seeing disabled people as able –
more community education about SCI
3. Opportunities for work and study
post-injury – the change to work or
study post-SCI, whether returning to
pre-injury work or pursuing something
entirely new, was important for Pasifika
participants
4. Spirituality and mental wellbeing
– this was very important to Pasifika
participants, who expressed a sense of
loss of control and self-confidence due
to their SCI
5. Family and peer support –
participants described family and peer
support from other spinal-injured
individuals as vital to their recovery
“Injury and disability affected all
the participants in different areas
of their lives,” says Tainafi. “Many
talked about the debilitating effect
SCI had on their wellbeing. From a
cultural lens, it was clear that areas
beyond physical functioning, such as
mental and spiritual wellbeing, were
just as important for Pasifika people’s
recovery.”

(Continued from page 7)
Tainafi says the findings could present
some challenges for healthcare services
due to the differences between Pacific
and New Zealand cultures.
“This is important as culture
can often be a barrier to Pasifika
peoples acquiring healthcare and
understanding the implications of
injuries or conditions on themselves
and their families.”
Tainafi presented the preliminary
findings of this study at the Le Va
Growing Pacific Solutions Health
and Disability Conference earlier this
year, and will provide a summary
of the findings to the Auckland and
Christchurch spinal units involved
and to the Accident Compensation
Corporation. He also plans to present
the findings at the HRC’s International
Pacific Health Conference in
November.
“I believe that having a spinal cord
injury and being Pasifika has provided
me with deep insight into this topic.
However, this project has also given
me much back in terms of what I’ve
learned about Pacific health and the
importance of culture,” says Tainafi.
Tainafi’s study was supervised by
AUT University researchers Dr Alice
Theadom and Dr Joanna Fadyl, in
collaboration with Professor Kathryn
McPherson.
