Fact Sheet
This fact sheet describes a range of behavioral health issues that affect American Indian and Alaska Native populations in disproportionate numbers relative to the general population. Using data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), the authors provide statistics on psychological distress, depression, suicide ideation, physical or sexual violence, binge drinking and use of alcohol or drugs and smoking status.

Research Report
This report examines both the health and economic costs of commercial tobacco use and secondhand smoke inhalation in the American Indian and Alaska Native communities in California. The authors estimate the cost of smoking — in health care and lost productivity — totals nearly 800 million dollars a year. It provides detailed breakdowns of productivity losses, as well as costs per individual and by specific health condition, of commercial tobacco use.

Research Report
This report examines the health risks, health status and health services use of the American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) elders in California, home to one of the nation's largest populations of AIAN elderly. Specifically, this report uses the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to provide omnibus data on a range of issues, including demographics, obesity, alcohol and tobacco use, as well as cancer screening, mental health, health insurance and more.

Fact Sheet
As more American Indians and Alaska Natives (American Indian or AIAN) live to adulthood and old age, the elderly population aged 55 and older is projected to increase from 5.5% of the total U.S. AIAN population in 1990 to 12.6% in 2050.

Journal Article
This article examines how different racial classifications affect survey weights and consequently change health-related indicators for the American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) population in California.

Journal Article
Many American Indian and Alaska Native veterans are eligible for health care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and from the Indian Health Service (IHS). These organizations executed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2003 to share resources but little was known about how they collaborated to deliver health care.

Journal Article
Objectives. We examined cancer screening and risk factor patterns in California using 4 different statistical tabulations of American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) populations. Methods. We used the 2001 California Health Interview Survey to compare cancer screening and risk factor data across 4 different tabulation approaches.

Journal Article
Background. California is home to the largest number of American Indians in the United States, including large numbers of residents who are from tribes outside of the state, in addition to Alaska Natives. In 2000 to 2001, the California Health Interview Survey randomly surveyed, by telephone, approximately 54,122 households throughout the state, focusing on public health and access to health care.
