Some featured data from our latest California Health Interview Survey data release!

Ballots have been rolling in ahead of Election Day, but a big question remains: How many people will ultimately vote? According to data from the latest California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), an estimated 2.8 million eligible Californians never vote in elections, and 7.7 million only vote sometimes which could potentially leave more than 10 million ballots uncast. These findings on voter participation (https://ucla.in/2HEibuG) and other health-related topics are part of today's annual CHIS data release webinar! Register: https://ucla.in/2MotZ2G

How do we understand the diverse health care needs of the 39.5 million people who live in California? For nearly 20 years, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR) has produced the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), which interviews more than 20,000 Californians on a wide range of health topics such as health conditions, health care access, mental health, health status and behaviors, and many more across various sociodemographic factors such as race and ethni...city, gender, age, and poverty level, to provide a detailed picture of the health and health care needs of California’s large and diverse population. As the largest state health survey in the nation, policymakers, legislators, local health departments, community organizations, researchers, health experts, members of the media, and others depend on CHIS for credible and comprehensive data on the health of Californians. Join the UCLA CHPR on Thursday, October 29, as we unveil the findings of the 2019 California Health Interview Survey which will be vital for stakeholders to consider in order to improve the health and well-being of adults and youth across California.

We want to thank our speakers, moderators, attendees, sponsors, partners, and supporters for joining us today for the E.R. Brown Virtual Symposium Healing a Fractured Society: Health Care as a Right! We began the critical dialogue by acknowledging the work that center founder E. Richard Rick Brown did to dedicate his life to advocating strongly for a health-care-for-all system that would ensure health services for every Californian. Our first panel covered the intersectio...n between social justice and health equity and our second panel dove into local, state, and federal policy changes needed to repair the fragmented health care system. Dr. Robert Ross of The California Endowment left us with the question, how do we all become champions of health equity? A recording of the event will be made available within the coming weeks.
