The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research’s AskCHIS database contains data on hundreds of health topics which allows you to get immediate results for the population or geographic area that interests you. The data is collected through the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) which surveys more than 45,000 California households throughout the state. It is the largest state health survey and one of the largest health surveys in the United States. AskCHIS gives health planners, policy makers, county governments, advocacy groups and media a detailed picture of the health and health care needs facing California’s diverse population. The user-friendly AskCHIS interface makes it easy to get not only statewide data, but also county-specific data.
