Journal Article
Using 2015–2018 California Health Interview Survey data, authors evaluated the health and economic impacts of work loss due to sickness associated with daily all-source and wildfire-specific particulate matter exposures in California.

Summary: Outdoor air pollution, including ozone (O3) pollution, and childhood family environments may interact and impact asthma exacerbations in children. Previous epidemiology studies have primarily focused on stress in the home, rather than support, and whether psychosocial factors modify the association between pollution and health outcomes, rather than whether pollution exposure modifies associations between psychosocial factors and health outcomes.

Policy Brief
Secondhand smoke is dangerous to a person’s health at any level of exposure. Yet policies that prevent smoking are not in place for a majority of market-rate multi-unit housing complexes, according to this survey of nearly 1,000 apartment dwellers in the city of Los Angeles. Approximately 37 percent of respondents reported that secondhand smoke had drifted into their apartments in the past year.

Policy Brief
Despite advances in therapy, asthma remains a disease that is not optimally controlled in many Californians. This policy brief examines the economic and social burden of the poor control of asthma and recommends policy changes to reduce those costs.Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), the authors found that California's children missed 1.9 million days of school and the state's adult workers missed 2 million days of work due to asthma.

Research Report
This in-depth report describes asthma in California based on data from the 2001 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2001), the largest state-level health survey in the nation. It examines the prevalence of asthma, access to care for those with asthma, emergency room use and hospitalization for asthma, and disparities in and consequences of frequent asthma symptoms among California's children and adults.

Research Report
Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are among the 10 leading chronic conditions causing restricted activity. After chronic sinusitis, asthma is the most common cause of chronic illness in children. Methods are available to treat these respiratory diseases and promote respiratory health.
