Improving the Efficiency of Outbound CATI As a Nonresponse Follow-Up Mode in Address-Based Samples: A Quasi-Experimental Evaluation of a Dynamic Adaptive Design (Journal of Survey Statistics and Methodology)
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.

The Post-Pandemic Agenda for Community Well-being among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in California
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AA and NHPIs) in many ways — through economic hardship, negative health outcomes, and rising incidents of hate and violence. This joint report with AAPI Data examines gaps in accessing health, mental health, and social services for AA and NHPI communities in California.

Impacts of Transition Statements in Survey Questions on Survey Break-off: Evidence from a Survey Experiment
The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) has employed an addressed-based sampling (ABS) frame with a mail push-to-web interview followed by a telephone nonresponse follow-up as the primary data collection approach since 2019. However, the nature of the self-administered web survey results in more survey break-offs than the previous computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI).

The Health, Mental Health, and Social Service Needs of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in California
Health data for Asian Americans (AA) and Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) are often grouped into an "overall" category. However, when the data for each ethnicity within AA and NHPI populations are looked at individually, or disaggregated, wide variations in health are obvious.  The onset of COVID-19 has amplified the importance of disaggregating AA and NHPI health data.

COVID-19 Rapid Response: How the California Health Interview Survey Adapted During the Global Pandemic (American Journal of Public Health)
As a large, well-established population survey, the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) was well-poised to adapt to the changing conditions and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors’ goal was to continue to provide equity-focused data products relevant to public health, but with a more rapid data processing timeframe to meet the immediate insights needed during the pandemic. This study uses data from the 2020 CHIS.

Journal Article
Adaptive Intervention Methodology for Reduction of Respondent Contact Burden in the American Community Survey (Journal of Official Statistics)
The notion of respondent contact burden in sample surveys is defined, and a multi-stage process to develop policies for curtailing nonresponse follow-up is described with the goal of reducing this burden on prospective survey respondents. The method depends on contact history paradata containing information about contact attempts both for respondents and for sampled nonrespondents.
