What health topics are covered by the CHIS?

From asthma, diabetes and obesity to immigrant health and health insurance coverage, CHIS covers dozens of essential health topics. Many core questions are repeated in each survey in order to measure significant shifts over time. New questions are also added each survey year to address emerging concerns that are important for planning and policy development.
