Policy Brief
This policy brief examines geographic disparities in rates of potentially preventable hospitalizations and emergency department visits among adults ages 18 and older by Service Planning Areas (SPA) in Los Angeles County from 2016 to 2021. Authors look at three combinations of conditions that are typically preventable, given appropriate disease management: all conditions, chronic conditions, and diabetes-related conditions.

Journal Article
The Latino health paradox is the phenomenon whereby recent Latino immigrants have, on average, better health outcomes on some indicators than Latino immigrants who have lived in the United States longer and U.S.-born Latinos and non-Latino whites. This study examined whether the paradox holds after accounting for health care access and utilization.

Research Report
Historically, Asian American and Native Hawaiian communities have been viewed as a monolithic group, and a lack of disaggregated data has masked the unique experiences and disparities faced by these communities. Published jointly by AAPI Data and the UCLA CHPR, this report aims to spur a more nuanced conversation about mental health among AA and NHPI populations by connecting survey data with community experiences as influenced by cultural nuances, U.S. foreign policy, and intergenerational trauma.

Policy Research Report
Breastfeeding can reduce breast cancer risk, both in the practice of breastfeeding and the duration of time a person breastfeeds, with longer durations associated with increased benefits. However, several racial/ethnic communities with higher rates of breast cancer are also those with lower rates of breastfeeding.
