Department Summary

The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) is the largest population-based state health survey in the nation and the premier source of credible and comprehensive data on the health and health care needs of California?s large and diverse population. CHIS is one of the nation’s largest ongoing health surveys and is conducted by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health, California Department of Health Care Services, and the Public Health Institute. A model for health surveys for other states, CHIS is committed to ensuring everyone has access to data – policymakers, advocates, health care providers, community organizations, researchers, journalists, and the general public – to fight for policies that will improve the lives of Californians through better health and health care. We make sure that data didn?t just sit on a shelf, but was accessible and widely disseminated through our public use files and AskCHIS free web query tool.
Position Summary

The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research (CHPR) is one of the nation’s leading health policy research centers and the premier source of health policy information for California. Center has pioneered ways to democratize data and put it into the hands of the public in ways that inform, educate, and create change. At the heart of our work lies a profound understanding that health is a fundamental right that should be accessible to all. We work to understand how social drivers of health impact access to and quality of care, and influence health outcomes. We reveal health inequities among racial and ethnic groups, immigrants, older adults, LGBTQ+ communities, adults with disabilities, people with low incomes, and other underserved communities. We disaggregate data for communities who have long been made invisible, including Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska Natives, and various racial and ethnic subgroups. We develop community-centered data dashboards and we train community organizations, policymakers, media, and the general public on how to find and use our data.
