Policy Brief
This policy brief describes civic engagement among California adolescents in high school. Using data from the 2013-14 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), the study found that the most common civic engagement activity among high school teens in California is volunteering. Latino teens and those from low-income families have lower rates of civic engagement. Higher rates of civic engagement are associated with better health status, fewer days of missed school due to health, better grades and greater perceived likelihood of attending college.

Fact Sheet
Of California children ages 2-11, nearly one in three (31 percent) consumed one or more sugary beverages per day in 2013-14. This percentage is higher than the percentages of children who consumed sugary beverages every day in 2009 or in 2011-12. The trend suggests that reductions in sugary beverage consumption observed among children in recent years may be reversing. Authors say continued education and policy efforts are needed to reduce sugary beverage consumption among children.
