Limited data exist on COVID-19's mental health impact on non-health care workers. Authors estimated the prevalence of depressed mood and suicidal ideation experienced in the past year among California workers and assessed whether the prevalence changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers analyzed 2013–2020 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data using survey-weighted methods to assess the change in the prevalence of depressed mood and suicidal ideation from 2019 to 2020 for working adults by demographics and occupational groups. They identified priority occupation groups with a higher-than-average outcome prevalence in 2020 and rate increases after adjusting for pre-pandemic trends. Analysis included 168,768 respondents, of which 65% were workers.

In the United States, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused increased mental health symptoms and mental illness. Specific subgroups such as Asian Indians in the U.S. have also been subject to additional stressors due to unprecedented loss of lives in their home country and increased Asian hate due to the misperception that Asians are to be blamed for the spread of the SARS-CoV-2.

Childhood obesity is an epidemic connected with poor eating. According to the United States Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS), food deserts are geographical locations in which residents have restricted or nonexistent access to healthful and quality food. Restricted access to healthy food is commonly associated with poor nutrition-related health outcomes, including obesity. This review aims to highlight the relationship between residing in a food desert or a similar environment on body mass index (BMI) in school-aged children in North America, predominantly in the Midwest region of the United States and Mexico. In this study, 17 articles were included from PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, and Crossref.

Journal Article
Women generally have higher prevalence of disability than men in later life. Moreover, Blacks and Hispanics usually have higher prevalence of disability than whites. Little is known about the impact of gender on the association between race and disability. Authors used 2015–2016 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data, restricted to adults ≥ 65 years old (n=15,044). Disability was classified as present or absent based on responses on questions related to “to physical, mental, and emotional conditions.” Race was classified as: white, Black, Hispanic, Asian, and other.

In 2020, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health launched Healthy Brain LA (HBLA). HBLA is a multi-pronged project designed to promote cognitive health, reduce the risk of dementia, and help develop a dementia-focused strategic plan for Los Angeles County (LAC) that prioritizes the needs of those impacted by dementia and cognitive impairment and their caregivers. To support this effort, the HBLA team analyzed weighted data from the 2019 and 2020 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to better understand the profile of adult caregivers of individuals with dementia and cognitive impairment.

Although revoked, the Trump Administration’s 2019 changes to the public charge rules contributed to avoidance of public programs among immigrants, even program-eligible immigrants, because immigrants believed access would affect their immigration status or that of a family member. Decreased participation in Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can negatively impact health and access to health care.
