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
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.

Journal Article
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.

Research Report
We study the past and present to understand how to shape the future of health. Whether a researcher or advocate, a legislator or journalist, we all need credible information to do that work, and the right tools to access it.    The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) is a source of credible data, and refining it is a constant. We added new questions this year on encounters with police, discrimination in health care settings, gun safety practices home, and more.

Journal Article
Increasingly diverse caregiver populations have prompted studies examining culture and caregiver outcomes. Still, little is known about the influence of sociocultural factors and how they interact with caregiving context variables to influence psychological health. Authors explore the role of caregiving and acculturation factors on psychological distress among a diverse sample of adults.
