Journal Article
Complex systems models of breast cancer have previously focused on prediction of prognosis and clinical events for individual women. There is a need for understanding breast cancer at the population level for public health decision-making, for identifying gaps in epidemiologic knowledge and for the education of the public as to the complexity of this most common of cancers.

This fact sheet provides an overview of key state and national child health facts to inform work that is needed to make California the best state to raise healthy, thriving children. Authors present data that are unique to California children from Asian American (AA) subgroups that are separated from Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities unless otherwise specified.

This fact sheet provides an overview of key state and national child health facts to inform work that needs to be done to make California the best state to raise healthy, thriving children. The design and implementation of data collection systems often neglect to include Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) community expertise, and as a result, NHPI data are insufficiently or inaccurately collected, aggregated together with Asian American (AA) data, or not collected at all.

Journal Article
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease with etiology rooted in genetic vulnerability and environmental factors. Authors combine quantitative epidemiologic study of pesticide exposures and PD with toxicity screening in dopaminergic neurons derived from PD patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to identify Parkinson's-relevant pesticides.

Journal Article
The United States has 2 types of degree programs that educate physicians: allopathic and osteopathic medical schools. Authors determine whether quality and costs of care differ between hospitalized Medicare patients treated by allopathic or osteopathic physicians. Patients studied were a 20% random sample of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries hospitalized with a medical condition during 2016 to 2019 and treated by hospitalists.

While a 2021 federal commission recommended that the United States government levy a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax to improve diabetes prevention and control efforts, evidence is limited regarding the longer-term impacts of SSB taxes on SSB purchases, health outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness. This study estimates the impact and cost-effectiveness of an SSB tax levied in Oakland, California.

Journal Article
Researchers investigate competing explanations for why Medicare Fee for Service (FFS) and private sector payments lead to hospital cost variations in Californian counties. Ratios of private to Medicare hospital costs were obtained from state-based all-payer claims databases. Demographics were estimated from the U.S. Census Bureau and data from the 2019 California Health Interview Survey.

Journal Article
This study aimed to identify the smoking prevalence among Chinese immigrants and explore associations between their current smoking behaviors and demographic factors, psychological distress, and health utilization factors. Inclusion criteria were applied to extract data from the 2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS); 650 eligible Chinese immigrant respondents were included in the sample. Independent variables were extracted based on the Integrated Model of Behavioral Prediction.

Fact Sheet
Access to a firearm and specific storage practices — such as storing a firearm loaded with ammunition and unlocked — are associated with increased suicide risk. Using 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) estimates, authors of this fact sheet studied adult participants in California who identified themselves as military veterans and who resided in a household with at least one firearm, including those kept in garages, outdoor storage areas, or motor vehicles.
