Journal Article
The study describes mental health services use among Californians with mental health need, highlights underserved populations, and discusses policy opportunities. Four years of California Health Interview Survey data (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014) were pooled and weighted to the 2013 population to estimate mental health need and unmet need.

Journal Article
Neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) has been found to be associated with breast cancer risk. It remains unclear whether this association applies across racial/ethnic groups independent of individual-level factors and is attributable to other neighborhood characteristics. Authors examined the independent and joint associations of education and nSES with odds of breast cancer.

Journal Article
Subjective social status is associated with a range of health outcomes. Few studies have tested the relevance of subjective social status among Latinos in the U.S.; those that have yielded mixed results. Data come from the Latino subsample of the 2003 National Latino and Asian American Study. Regression models adjusted for socioeconomic and demographic factors. Stratified analyses tested whether nativity status modifies the effect of subjective social status on health.

Journal Article
Authors aimed to identify predictors of receiving a flu vaccination, with an emphasis on the impact of race and ethnicity. Using data from the 2011-2012 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) from 27.8 million adults ages 18 and older, authors found that, overall, fewer than 40 percent (35.8 percent) received a flu vaccination within the last year. Blacks were 33 percent less likely to have been vaccinated than whites.

Journal Article
Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide primary care in rural areas with a shortage of providers. This paper examines whether racial and ethnic minority composition was related to changes in the supply of RHCs and FQHCs in rural counties from 2000 to 2011. Authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of rural counties using the Area Health Resource File 2012-2013.

Journal Article
Authors used publicly available data from WHO's Global Tuberculosis Programme for tuberculosis burden in terms of yearly incidence, prevalence, and mortality per 100,000 people, and social protection data from the International Labour Organization (ILO), expressed as the percentage of national gross domestic product (GDP) spent on social protection programs (excluding health). Data from ILO were from 146 countries covering the years between 2000 and 2012.
