Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Parkinson's Disease in Central California (Environmental Research)
Researchers investigated the long-term impacts of traffic-related and multiple sources of particulate air pollution on Parkinson's Disease in central California. They assessed exposure at residential and occupational locations from 1981 to 2016, estimating annual average carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations.

The aim of this scoping review was to assist researchers who want to use survey data, either in academic or community settings, to identify and comprehend health disparities affecting Native Hawaiian (NH), Pacific Islander (PI), and/or Filipino populations, as these are groups with known and numerous health disparities. The scoping review methodology was used to identify survey datasets that disaggregate data for NH, PI, or Filipinos.

This issue brief uses data from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to explore how telehealth use varies across subpopulations of adults in the state and reports how people rate their telehealth experience compared to in-person care. The brief concludes with a discussion of potential policy implications of the findings, and areas for future data collection and research.

The Latino population is one of the largest immigrant groups in the United States, with the majority being of Mexican descent. Whether immigrating to the U.S. is positive for the well-being of Mexican immigrants and future generations is an important question. Authors examined how nativity status and quality of life indicators relate to life satisfaction among foreign-born and U.S.-born Mexican descent Latinos living in California.
