Recurrent episodes of rheumatic fever can cause permanent damage to heart valves, heart failure and even death. M\u0101ori and Pacific people in Aotearoa New Zealand experience some of the highest rates globally, with Pacific children 80 times more likely to be hospitalised for rheumatic fever and M\u0101ori children 36 times more likely than non-M\u0101ori, non-Pacific children. Community members from the Pacific People\u2019s Health Advisory Group, research officers from the Pacific Practice-Based Research Network and University of Auckland researchers identified key health priorities within the South Auckland community that needed to be addressed, one of which was rheumatic fever. The study outlined in this protocol aims to co-design, implement, and evaluate a novel intervention to reduce rheumatic fever rates for Pacific communities in South Auckland.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This participatory mixed-methods study utilises the Fa\u2019afaletui method and follows a three-phase approach. Phase 1 comprises a quantitative analysis of the rheumatic fever burden within Auckland and across New Zealand over the last five years, including sub-analyses by ethnicity. Phase 2 will include co-design workshops with Pacific community members, families affected by rheumatic fever, health professionals, and other stakeholders in order to develop a novel intervention to reduce rheumatic fever in South Auckland. Phase 3 comprises the implementation and evaluation of the intervention.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This study aims to reduce the inequitable rheumatic fever burden faced by Pacific communities in South Auckland via a community-based participatory research approach. The final intervention may guide approaches in other settings or regions that also experience high rates of rheumatic fever. Additionally, M\u0101ori have the second-highest incidence rates of rheumatic fever of all ethnic groups, thus community-led approaches \u2018by M\u0101ori for M\u0101ori\u2019 are also necessary.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Trial registration<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry has approved the proposed study: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/anzctr.org.au\/Trial\/Registration\/TrialReview.aspx?id=383848\">ACTRN12622000565741<\/jats:ext-link> and <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/anzctr.org.au\/Trial\/Registration\/TrialReview.aspx?id=383628\">ACTRN12622000572763<\/jats:ext-link>.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12939-022-01701-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]],"date-time":"2022-07-21T17:03:05Z","timestamp":1658422985000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Co-designing an intervention to prevent rheumatic fever in Pacific People in South Auckland: a study protocol"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8955-1364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siobhan","family":"Tu\u2019akoi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2431-0399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malakai","family":"Ofanoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9880-7176","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuela","family":"Ofanoa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hinamaha","family":"Lutui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3629-2984","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maryann","family":"Heather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2374-5270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rawiri McKree","family":"Jansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3072-5937","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bert","family":"van der Werf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6657-9401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felicity","family":"Goodyear-Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"1701_CR1","volume-title":"Rheumatic fever","author":"Ministry of Health","year":"2021","unstructured":"Ministry of Health.
