Transgender people make up 0.5% of the adult population in California, and 1.93% of teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17, according to research from the University of California, Los Angeles. In California, 17% of all gender non-conforming students aged 12-17 reported that they experienced psychological distress, the UCLA Center for Health Policy reported.

Researchers analyzed a representative sample of California adults, using 12,485 responses to the California Health Interview Survey. The study from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health showed that nearly 17% of employed Californians said they didn't take paid leave that they needed.

Haro-Ramos said in an email that she used the California Health Interview Survey, or CHIS, in the study, which itself took around three months. The sample used was collected from the CHIS between March and October 2021, and the paper indicated that 12,485 responses were used in its analysis.

The report found that 28.5% of Santa Cruz County teens reported being absent from school because of dental issues, compared to 16.6% in Monterey County and 10.8% statewide. The data is from 2020 and based on the California Health Interview Survey, which reaches out to individuals who self-report.

The cross-sectional study, led by Alein Y. Haro-Ramos, a doctoral student at Berkeley Public Health, analyzed 12,485 records from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey.

The truth, which has repeatedly been demonstrated over the course of the pandemic, is one of the key takeaways from the 2023 California Health Interview Survey of more than 5,000 adults, teenagers and children across the state conducted in March and April. The survey found that Latino adults were twice as likely as white adults to have experienced COVID-19 symptoms for two months or longer. Their long COVID rate, 40%, was well above the statewide average of 28% and nearly three times the rate of Asian adults in California.

Without workers, no amount of funding or tweaking mental health policies will be enough, says Vickie Mays, a psychology professor and director of the BRITE Center for Science, Research, and Policy (Bridging Research Innovation, Training, and Education) at UCLA. She says the state and federal government need to increase mental health training programs and encourage more students to enter the field.
