Research Report
The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) has employed an addressed-based sampling (ABS) frame with a mail push-to-web interview followed by a telephone nonresponse follow-up as the primary data collection approach since 2019. However, the nature of the self-administered web survey results in more survey break-offs than the previous computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI).

Journal Article
As a large, well-established population survey, the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) was well-poised to adapt to the changing conditions and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors’ goal was to continue to provide equity-focused data products relevant to public health, but with a more rapid data processing timeframe to meet the immediate insights needed during the pandemic. This study uses data from the 2020 CHIS.

Policy Brief
In 1998, California passed the California Children and Families Act to improve development for children from the prenatal stage to five years of age. One goal of this ongoing commitment is to expand understanding of the social and physical environments that can impact a child's well-being and school readiness. Using CHIS data for the years 2011-2014, this report presents findings on families with children ages 0-5 years.

As a large population-based health survey of the nation's most diverse state, the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) provides relatively large samples of relatively rare population groups. Despite being the "T" in LGBT, transgender persons have been left out of CHIS and other population-health surveys.

Journal Article
Epilepsy, which requires complex care, can be further complicated by comorbid mental illness. Evidence indicates deficiencies exist in the care received for both epilepsy-related care and for mental health care in people with epilepsy. Evidence indicates there are deficiencies in both these areas for people with epilepsy. Our objective was to evaluate treatment gaps in epilepsy and mental health care among California adults with epilepsy and to compare the mental health services and treatment received by people with epilepsy to that of the general population.

Policy Brief
Despite the steady decline of smoking rates in California, 224,000 children under age 12 live in homes where smoking is allowed, and another 742,000 live with an adult or adolescent smoker.
