This paper examines the association of multimorbidity, mental health (MH) conditions, and obesity severity among health center (HC) patients in the United States. Authors used cross-sectional data from the 2014 Health Center Patient Survey. They examined the independent association of multimorbidity and MH conditions with obesity severity using a multinomial logistic regression model, controlling for potential confounders.

This fact sheet presents findings from interviews, discussions, and studies from the report Barriers to Metastatic Breast Cancer Care in California: A report to the California Breast Cancer Research Program. Specifically, the fact sheet assesses barriers to accessing and enrolling in clinical trials and recommendations on policy solutions that could improve survivors’ understanding of and access to care options for breast cancer that has metastasized.

American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people are underrepresented and often invisible in public health data and research. AIAN health data capacity is impeded by the quality of information collected, released, and reported on AIANs in population-based surveys. AIANs are either put in a residual “other” category or, typically, depicted as single-race non-Latinx AIANs.

In 2019, 2.75 million California adults reported that they never vote in elections, and an additional 7.7 million reported that they only “sometimes” vote. The combined number of "never" and "sometimes" voters is even higher for local elections, in which 6 million California adults reported that they “never” vote, and an additional 7.4 million reported that they only “sometimes” vote.

This policy brief describes voter registration and participation among California adults using data from the 2017–2018 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). Findings: Better health status, lower levels of psychological distress, and better access to health care were related to higher levels of voter participation. Higher levels of voter registration and participation were reported among those living in neighborhoods perceived as safe and as having high social cohesion.
