The specific indicators and boundaries used to calculate NZDep can change between Censuses. As a result, some deprivation index values may appear as null.Data Values-997 and -999 values from the Stats NZ dataset, previously used to represent unavailable or confidential data, have been replaced with 0 to improve compatibility with Smart Mapping and Policy Mapping workflows. Users should note that while this change supports data processing, 0 may represent either valid data or a placeholder for unavailable or confidential values, depending on the context.

Background

Intentional self-harm is a common cause of hospital presentations in New Zealand and across the world, and self-poisoning is the most common method of self-harm. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is frequently used in impulsive intentional overdoses, where ease of access may determine the choice of substance.

Objective

This cross-sectional study aimed to determine how much paracetamol is present and therefore accessible in urban New Zealand households, and sources from where it has been obtained. This information is not currently available through any other means, but could inform New Zealand drug policy on access to paracetamol.

Methods

Random cluster-sampling of households was performed in major urban areas of two cities in New Zealand, and the paracetamol-containing products, quantities, and sources were recorded. Population estimates of proportions of various types of paracetamol products were calculated.

Results

A total of 174 of the 201 study households (86.6%) had at ...
