Latino and Asian immigrants represent the two largest immigrant populations in California, yet little is known about firearm ownership and storage practices among individuals in these groups. This policy brief explores firearm ownership and storage practices among Latino and Asian adults in California. Using the 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), this brief reports findings by self-reported citizenship status among adult respondents ages 18 years and older.

This study describes a computer-mediated peer support program that centers around sharing circles: spaces for personal, narrative storytelling to encourage home care workers (HCWs) to collaboratively reflect on their home care experiences and build rapport with their peers. Authors describe program design and a 12-week deployment to evaluate the program with 42 HCWs in New York City.

Researchers determine whether patient-surgeon gender concordance is associated with mortality of patients after surgery in the United States. Study participants were 100% Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged 65 to 99 years who had one of 14 major elective or non-elective (emergent or urgent) surgeries in 2016 to 2019.

Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Parkinson's Disease in Central California (Environmental Research)
Researchers investigated the long-term impacts of traffic-related and multiple sources of particulate air pollution on Parkinson's Disease in central California. They assessed exposure at residential and occupational locations from 1981 to 2016, estimating annual average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations.
