“Public option” health plans, particularly as enacted in Washington State, have had difficulty meeting their goals of improving affordability for patients and reducing overall health care costs. This policy brief analyzes the evolution of Washington’s public option and policy changes made in other states in response to initial rollout challenges and compares these with the policy goals and outcomes of Basic Health Programs (BHPs), an alternative form of coverage authorized by the Affordable Care Act.

Journal Article
Authors evaluate the use of dynamic adaptive design methods to target outbound computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) in the California Health Interview Survey. Authors used a difference-in-difference design to evaluate the effect of the adaptive design on calling effort, completion rates, and the demographic composition of respondents.

Research Report
Historically, Asian American and Native Hawaiian communities have been viewed as a monolithic group, and a lack of disaggregated data has masked the unique experiences and disparities faced by these communities. Published jointly by AAPI Data and the UCLA CHPR, this report aims to spur a more nuanced conversation about mental health among AA and NHPI populations by connecting survey data with community experiences as influenced by cultural nuances, U.S. foreign policy, and intergenerational trauma.

Authors discuss some common myths and stereotypes that likely influence why government and health entities tend to overlook a need to collect demographic disability data and explain why demographic disability data is needed, how it differs from medical or insurance information, and why it is important for proper medical and insurance assessments.

Journal Article
Screening for adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in the clinical setting is set to become more commonplace with continued efforts to reimburse clinicians for screening. However, an examination of disparities in ACEs screening and related attitudes and beliefs is needed. The study uses estimates from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).

Policy Research Report
Breastfeeding can reduce breast cancer risk, both in the practice of breastfeeding and the duration of time a person breastfeeds, with longer durations associated with increased benefits. However, several racial/ethnic communities with higher rates of breast cancer are also those with lower rates of breastfeeding.
