Policy Brief
About 1 in 10 California adults reported having financial difficulties paying for their rent or mortgage in 2021 because of the COVID-19 outbreak or had difficulty paying for housing due to COVID-19. Using data from the 2021 CHIS, this policy brief describes the relationship between housing affordability and housing stability and health care access during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Journal Article
Unaffordable housing is associated with adverse health-related outcomes, but little is known about the associations between moving due to unaffordable housing and health-related outcomes. Using data from the 2011–2017 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), researchers examine the association of recent cost-driven residential moves with health-related outcomes by looking at cost-driven moves in the past three years relative to no move and to noncost-driven moves.

Journal Article
Despite having worse health care access and other social disadvantages, immigrants have, on average, better health outcomes than U.S.-born individuals. For Latino immigrants, this is known as the Latino health paradox. It is unknown whether this phenomenon applies to undocumented immigrants.

Journal Article
Evidence on the impact of information campaigns on meat consumption patterns is limited. Using a dataset of more than 100,000 meal selections over 3 years, authors examine the long-term effects of an informational intervention designed to increase awareness about the role of meat consumption in climate change.

Journal Article
This quasi-experimental study examined whether "sanctuary city" policies are an effective mechanism for reducing mental health inequalities by immigrant origin status in Latinx populations in California. Ample evidence indicates that people experience mental health problems when restrictive immigration policies are imposed. It remains unclear whether sanctuary city policies can improve population mental health in the groups targeted by restrictive immigration policies: undocumented immigrant Latinxs, documented immigrant Latinxs, and native-born Latinxs.

Journal Article
Authors assess inequities in mortality by race and sex for eight common surgical procedures (elective and nonelective) across specialties in the United States. The study consisted of 1,868,036 Black and white Medicare beneficiaries aged 65–99 years undergoing one of eight common surgeries: repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, colectomy, coronary artery bypass surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement, and lung resection. The main outcome measure was 30-day mortality, defined as death during hospital admission or within 30 days of the surgical procedure.

Journal Article
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) aimed to expand mental health service use in the U.S. by expanding access to health insurance. However, the gap in mental health utilization by race and ethnicity is pronounced: members of racial and ethnic minoritized groups remain less likely to use mental health services than non-Hispanic white individuals even after the ACA.
