Journal Article
This study examines the factors associated with discontinuous health insurance coverage without periods of uninsurance during the past year (ie, switching coverage), and whether it has a detrimental effect on basic access to care. Children and adults had disruptions in their basic access to health care when they experienced discontinuous insurance.

Journal Article
This study evaluated the Los Angeles Unified School District Nutrition Network, a large multicomponent nutrition and physical activity program in an ethnically diverse school district, launched in 2000.Thirty-six percent of eligible schools participated in 2001, and 79% of participating schools reapplied the following year. Elementary schools and schools that applied for grant money were more likely to reapply.

Journal Article
The health coverage of low-income workers represents an area of continuing disparities in the United States system of health insurance. Using the 2001 California Health Interview Survey, the authors estimate the effect of low-income wage earners' citizenship and gender on the odds of obtaining primary employment-based health insurance (EBHI), dependent EBHI, public program coverage, and coverage from any source.

Research Report
This report from UCLA CHPR shows that job-based health insurance coverage -- the backbone of the state's system of health insurance – continues to decline. More than 6.5 million Californians under age 65 (more than one in five nonelderly residents) went without insurance for at least part of 2005. Even with the strong economic recovery, employment-based coverage of the nonelderly population as a whole fell from 56.4% in 2001 to 54.3% in 2005.

Policy Brief
As California's system of job-based health insurance continues to erode, low- and moderate-income workers are increasingly being left out, according to this policy brief from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. While a majority of Californians continue to get health insurance through their employer or that of a family member, researchers noted that job-based insurance is particularly declining among those living at or below the poverty level.
