Journal Article
Disaggregation of race/ethnicity in population health surveys was pivotal to understanding the vast differences between the Asian and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPI) experience. A study using the National Health Interview Survey to compare NHPI populations with Asian populations showed that NHPI individuals have significantly higher rates of cancer, asthma, psychological distress, hypertension, heart disease, and unhealthy body weight.

Journal Article
Little is known about the effects of the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) coverage expansion among immigrant groups of differing immigration status. Using data from the 2003–2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), authors compare changes in health coverage and access to care among immigrants in California before and after implementation of the ACA.

Policy Brief
American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) people are underrepresented and often invisible in public health data and research. AIAN health data capacity is impeded by the quality of information collected, released, and reported on AIANs in population-based surveys. AIANs are either put in a residual “other” category or, typically, depicted as single-race non-Latinx AIANs.

Journal Article
To address concerns that the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) unfairly penalized safety net hospitals treating patients with high social and functional risks, Medicare recently modified HRRP to compare hospitals with similar proportions of high-risk, dual-eligible patients ("peer group hospitals"). Whether the change fully accounts for patients' social and functional risks is unknown.

The U.S. multi-payer system leaves residents uninsured or underinsured, despite overall health care costs far above other nations. This review seeks to assess the projected cost impact of a single-payer approach.
