Access brand new data from the nation's largest population-based state health survey. 

Following the release of the full 2024 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data in October 2025, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR) hosted a data user training to demonstrate how to use our free online health query tools. 

In this training, you will learn how to access new data on a wide range of health topics using AskCHIS™. CHIS Data Dissemination Manager Jacob Rosalez will walk through how to: 

• Set up an account. 
• Search for health statistics by county, region, and the state. 
• Compare topics and look across various sociodemographic factors. 
• Identify patterns and trends. 
• View and export data in tables, charts, and graphs. 
• …and more! 

Rosalez also shares how to use AskCHIS™ Neighborhood Edition (NE), which provides select health estimates at more granular levels of geography: census tract, ZIP code, city, county, and legislative district levels. Learn how to produce tables, thematic maps, and bar charts for easy visualization. 

Whether you're a legislator in need of reliable data to inform policy, a community organization advocating for the needs of their community, a researcher studying disparities in access to care, a journalist working on a story about some of the financial difficulties facing Californians, or a concerned citizen, CHIS will provide the training that puts evidence at your fingertips.
