| The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) is a large population-based assessment of health and health care access designed to provide estimates at the local level and for California's ethnically diverse population. This session will provide information on the use of CHIS data to measure health disparities based on race/ethnicity, income, age, gender and sexual orientation, immigration status and citizenship, and geography, including urban-rural place of residence. Presenters will describe scientific and political factors involved in the development of CHIS; the design of the 55,000 household CHIS sample; methods of assuring quality of health, health insurance, access, and other measures; methods of multicultural and linguistic adaptation of survey measures; confidentiality protection policies; and the dissemination of data and results to diverse users. | ||||
