Journal Article
With the Affordable Care Act reducing coverage disparities, social factors could prominently determine where and for whom innovations first diffuse in health care markets. Gene expression profiling is a potentially cost-effective innovation that guides chemotherapy decisions in early-stage breast cancer, but adoption has been uneven across the United States.

Journal Article
In this article for The American Journal of Public Health, changes in sexual orientation question item completion in a large statewide health survey are examined. The authors used 2003 to 2011 California Health Interview Survey data to investigate sexual orientation item nonresponse and sexual minority self-identification trends in a cross-sectional sample representing the noninstitutionalized California household population aged 18 to 70 years.

This study combined information on USDA Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) interventions with interview responses from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to investigate the viability of linking these large-scale process and outcome databases at the Census-tract level, and to examine associations between levels of intervention reach and fruit and vegetable consumption, consumption of fast food and sugar-sweetened beverages, and physical activity.

Journal Article
Guidelines recommend that peoples with a high-risk family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) undergo colonoscopy examinations every five years, starting when they are 40 years old. The authors investigated factors associated with colonoscopy screening of individuals with a family history of CRC, focusing on race and ethnicity.

Journal Article
Prior literature on social capital and health has predominantly focused on health outcomes and individual access to health care services. It is not known to what degree, if any, community social capital influences the performance or behaviors of public hospitals, a key source of health care for disadvantaged communities in the United States.

Journal Article
Undocumented immigrants were excluded from the health benefit marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act partly because of claims that they contribute to problems such as high costs and emergency department (ED) crowding. This Health Affairs journal article examines the likely health care use and costs of undocumented immigrants in California in 2009–2010.

Journal Article
Residential segregation is associated geographic disparities in access to care, but its impact on local health care policy, including public hospitals, is unknown. The authors examined the effects of racial residential segregation on U.S. urban public hospital closures from 1987 to 2007, controlling for hospital, market, and policy characteristics.

Fact Sheet
This fact sheet uses data from the 2012 California Health Interview Survey to examine health insurance coverage among Californians. The authors find that nearly 20 percent of Californians were insured all year through Medi-Cal or Healthy Families in 2012 and just under half of all nonelderly Californians were insured through their own or a family member's job-based coverage.

Journal Article
The authors examined the associations between community residential segregation by income and race/ethnicity, and the supply of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in urban areas. Counties with a high non-white dissimilarity index and a high percentage of minorities were more likely to have an FQHC in 2000. The authors found that the addition of new FQHCs from 2000 to 2007, the effects of both poverty and non-white dissimilarity indices were positive and significant.
