Journal Article
In this study, authors use data from 2011 to 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and compare residents in 24 Medicaid expansion states with those in 20 non-expansion states using a difference-in-differences (DD) approach.

Journal Article
Family doctors are increasingly managing the diabetes care of Korean Americans. Little is known about the prevalence of diabetes among non-obese Korean Americans, or the extent to which they receive timely and appropriate diabetes care.

Journal Article
This paper aims to provide population-based data from California on: (a) the prevalence and the odds of diabetes among non-obese South Asian (SA) Americans compared to non-Hispanic whites (NHW); (b) to assess the prevalence and odds of optimal medical care including regular eye exams, foot exams, and the monitoring of hemoglobin A1C blood glucose levels; and (c) to identify the factors that are associated with diabetes among SA Americans.

Journal Article
Authors aimed to compare the impact of implementing team-based diabetes care management involving community health workers (CHWs) vs. medical assistants (MA) in community health centers (CHCs) on diabetes care processes, intermediate outcomes, and patients’ experiences of chronic care. Authors used clinical and administrative data and patient surveys pre-intervention and post-intervention. Surveys and key informant interviews of CHC staff assessed barriers and facilitators of implementation.

Policy Brief
This policy brief examines patterns of sugary beverage consumption among children and adolescents in California. Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), this study found that while sugary beverage consumption decreased among adolescents ages 12-17 between 2011-12 and 2013-14, it increased among children under age 12 between 2009 and 2013-14.

Journal Article
The study analyzed disparities in diabetes care quality and patient experience among 1,053 Latino and Asian community health center (CHC) patients by English language preference. Study authors estimated separate regression models for Latino and Asian patients by English language preference for Clinician & Group-Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and System, Patient Assessment of Chronic Illness Care, hemoglobin A1c, and self‐reported hypoglycemic events.

Policy Brief
Diabetes affects nearly 1 of every 10 Californians. A serious side effect of the disease is foot ulcers, which significantly increase a patient's risk of amputation and death. They can be difficult and expensive to treat, and a majority of people with diabetes in the United States do not receive clinically recommended foot health screenings or access podiatric care.

Policy Brief
In California, more than 13 million adults (46 percent of all adults in the state) are estimated to have prediabetes or undiagnosed diabetes. An additional 2.5 million adults have diagnosed diabetes. Altogether, 15.5 million adults (55 percent of all California adults) have prediabetes or diabetes. Although rates of prediabetes increase with age, rates are also high among young adults, with one-third of those ages 18-39 having prediabetes.

Journal Article
Authors tested whether generational status is associated with variations in diabetes processes of care among four generational cohorts of Mexican adults: first generation immigrant (foreign-born); second generation (both parents foreign-born); generation 2.5 (one parent foreign-born, one parent U.S.-born); and third generation (both parents U.S.-born).

Policy Research Report
Using data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), this report examines variations in the prevalence of obesity, as well as income and racial/ethnic disparities, between 2001 and 2011-2012. It also examines health behaviors related to obesity and neighborhood environmental factors that can contribute to or mitigate obesity risk. This study was developed with funding from The California Endowment.
