Journal Article
Recent research has supported the use of colorectal cancer (CRC) tests to reduce disease incidence, morbidity, and mortality. A new health survey has provided an opportunity to examine the use of these tests in California's ethnically diverse population. The authors used the 2001 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2001) to evaluate 1) rates of CRC test use, 2) predictors of the receipt of tests, and 3) reasons for nonuse of CRC tests.

The cultural and linguistic diversity of the U.S. population presents challenges to the design and implementation of population-based surveys that serve to inform public policies. Information derived from such surveys may be less than representative of groups with limited or no English language skills are not included.

The cultural and linguistic diversity of the U.S. population presents challenges to the design and implementation of population-based surveys that serve to inform public policies. Information derived from such surveys may be less than representative if groups with limited or no English language skills are not included. The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), first administered in 2001, is a population-based health survey of more than 55,000 California households.

Research Report
This in-depth report describes cancer screening in California based on data from the 2001 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2001), the largest state-level health survey in the nation. The report examines screening rates for cervical, breast, colorectal and prostate cancers by race and ethnicity, income, insurance coverage, usual source of care, and English proficiency. It provides local-level estimates of screening rates for California counties and county groups.

Fact Sheet
This fact sheet examines cancer screening rates for several Asian ethnic subgroups — Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, South Asian, and Cambodian — to identify specific populations at risk for not receiving preventive care. In addition, cancer screening rates are also examined for individuals with limited English proficiency to determine the effects of language as a barrier to access.

Research Report
This report, based on data from the CHIS 2001, examines long-term and intermittent health insurance coverage, and the sources and consequences of resulting periods of uninsurance. Sharp differences in the duration of uninsurance and health insurance coverage were found by race and ethnicity, by family income, and by citizenship and immigration status.

Journal Article
Emerging methods in the measurement of race and ethnicity have important implications for the field of public health. Traditionally, information on race and/or ethnicity has been integral to our understanding of the health issues affecting the U.S. population. We review some of the complexities created by new classification approaches made possible by the inclusion of multiple-race assessment in the U.S. Census and large health surveys.
