​Updates to the Adult Health Profiles released today by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research incorporates estimates from the 2013-2014 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) that are accessed through a new interface that makes it easier and faster to view and understand authoritative health information.

Adult Health Profile contain key health and demographic estimates on California’s diverse population, available by region, county, Los Angeles Service Planning Area (SPA), and San Diego Health and Human Services Agency region. These profiles can now be accessed through a new, dynamic dashboard that provides quicker and easier access to data and visualizations.

“In addition to using the latest CHIS data, we’ve made some significant improvements to our interface, giving our users the option to either query health estimates for their county on our dashboard, or download the classic double-sided hard copy of the report,” said Bogdan Rau, CHIS project coordinator.   Health Profiles are supported by The California Endowment.   See the 2013-2014 Adult Health Profiles here.
