This policy brief examines geographic disparities in rates of potentially preventable hospitalizations and emergency department visits among adults ages 18 and older by Service Planning Areas (SPA) in Los Angeles County from 2016 to 2021. Authors look at three combinations of conditions that are typically preventable, given appropriate disease management: all conditions, chronic conditions, and diabetes-related conditions.

“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.

Using the 2014–2019 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) combined adult data and existing state, county, and city tobacco control policies and neighborhood-level data on social drivers of health, this brief examines variations in local tobacco policies and their relationship with smoking behaviors, particularly among priority populations disproportionately impacted by tobacco.

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.

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.
