Policy Brief
This policy brief examines gender differences in health insurance coverage and access to care using data from the 2012-2016 waves of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). By the end of 2016, following three years of full health insurance expansion due to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (which went into effect on January 1, 2014), just over 10% of both men and women had gained coverage, leaving the gender gap in uninsured rates intact.

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.
