California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Annual Data Release

Add to calendar

On October 5, 2022, UCLA CHPR released comprehensive findings from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).

From delays in receiving medical care to mental health conditions such as suicide ideation, the survey findings will spotlight some of the ongoing health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other important health concerns affecting Californians. This year’s release will also feature data from first-time questions on gun violence and firearm safety, housing security, climate change, childhood experiences, encounters with police, and more.

Ninez A. Ponce, PhD, MPP, UCLA CHPR director and CHIS principal investigator, and Todd Hughes, CHIS director, presented key findings from the 2021 survey. Sean Tan, MPP, senior public administration analyst, will also discuss a fact sheet that looks at gun safety and attitudes related to gun violence among select populations: young adults (aged 18 to 25), immigrants, veterans, LGBT people, and individuals living in rural areas.
