An equity-focused framework, to support the planning and delivery of equitable implementation pathways for health interventions, has now been adapted for use in New Zealand. After a scoping review to identify existing frameworks, the Equity-based framework for Implementation Research was selected for adaptation. Māori and consumer advisory groups were involved in the adaptation process. The principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi are at the core of the adapted framework, and it takes a whānau-centred approach. The implementation pathway is underpinned by constructs of collaborative design, anti-racism, Māori and priority population expertise, cultural safety and values. Social, economic, commercial and political determinants of health are included in the pathway.
