Policy Brief
This policy brief describes two types of walking among California adults: walking for transportation and walking for leisure. Using data from the 2003 and 2013-14 California Health Interview Surveys, the study found that the prevalence of both types of walking has increased since 2003. The prevalence of walking for both transportation and leisure varies with age, income, race/ethnicity, and neighborhood safety and cohesion.

Policy Brief
This policy brief describes physical activity among California children and adolescents. Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) from 2013-14, the study found that only 31 percent of children ages 5-11 and 18 percent of adolescents ages 12-17 meet the physical activity guidelines of engaging in at least one hour of physical activity every day. Neighborhood characteristics, including safety and proximity to parks, are related to physical activity levels among youth.

A randomized clinical trial of 377 primary care patients with opioid and/or alcohol use disorders (OAUD) was conducted in 2 clinics in a federally qualified health center to determine whether collaborative care (CC) for OAUD improves delivery of evidence-based treatments for OAUD and increases self-reported abstinence compared with usual primary care.

Policy Brief
In California, more than 13 million adults (46 percent of all adults in the state) are estimated to have prediabetes or undiagnosed diabetes. An additional 2.5 million adults have diagnosed diabetes. Altogether, 15.5 million adults (55 percent of all California adults) have prediabetes or diabetes. Although rates of prediabetes increase with age, rates are also high among young adults, with one-third of those ages 18-39 having prediabetes.

Journal Article
Authors studied the effectiveness of a vendor’s telephone-based diabetes disease management program delivered over three years to Medi-Cal diabetes patients ages 22 to 75 years in Los Angeles and Alameda counties. Three outcomes were measured: receipt of at least one hemoglobin A1C test, LDL-cholesterol test, and retinal examination each year.

Journal Article
Partners for Children, California’s pediatric palliative care program, uses family-centered care coordination to offer hospice-like therapeutic, respite and pain management services for children delivered concurrently with curative care and regardless of the child’s life expectancy. As an early implementer of concurrent care for children, the program provides evidence of the impact of concurrent care on children and their families.

Journal Article
Few youth meet current physical activity recommendations. Protective social factors such as having a role model, social participation, and adult support at school may help promote youth physical activity. This study used data from the 2011-2012 California Health Interview Survey to examine the extent to which role models, social participation, and support at school promote physical activity among groups at risk of inactivity and obesity, specifically low-income youth and youth of color.
