Proportion of Adults Who Are Current Smokers (LGHC Indicator)

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. Adult smoking prevalence in California, males and females aged 18+, starting in 2012. Caution must be used when comparing the percentages of smokers over time as the definition of ‘current smoker’ was broadened in 1996, and the survey methods were changed in 2012. Current cigarette smoking is defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and now smoking every day or some days. Due to the methodology change in 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend not conducting analyses where estimates from 1984 – 2011 are compared with analyses using the new methodology, beginning in 2012. This includes analyses examining trends and changes over time. (For more information, please see the narrative description.)
The California Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is an on-going telephone survey of randomly selected adults, which collects information on a wide variety of health-related behaviors and preventive health practices related to the leading causes of death and disability such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and injuries. Data are collected monthly from a random sample of the California population aged 18 years and older. The BRFSS is conducted by Public Health Survey Research Program of California State University, Sacramento under contract from CDPH. The survey has been conducted since 1984 by the California Department of Public Health in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2012, the survey methodology of the California BRFSS changed significantly so that the survey would be more representative of the general population. Several changes were implemented: 1) the survey became dual-frame, with both cell and landline random-digit dial components, 2) residents of college housing were eligible to complete the BRFSS, and 3) raking or iterative proportional fitting was used to calculate the survey weights. Due to these changes, estimates from 1984 – 2011 are not comparable to estimates from 2012 and beyond. Center for Disease Control and Policy (CDC) and recommend not conducting analyses where estimates from 1984 – 2011 are compared with analyses using the new methodology, beginning in 2012. This includes analyses examining trends and changes over time.Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and now smoking every day or some days. Prior to 1996, the definition of current cigarettes smoking was having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in lifetime and smoking now.
Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME) program Demonstration Year 11 – Demonstration Year 15 Data

This data is from the Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME) program, part of California’s Medi-Cal 2020 1115 waiver approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This dataset includes self-reported data from designated public hospitals (DPHs) and municipal public hospitals (DMPHs) and municipal public hospitals (DMPHs) annual reports, which include self-reported data on performance of PRIME required metrics.
Quality Incentive Pool (QIP) Program Data (Years 1 - 6)

Beginning with the July 1, 2017, rating period, the Department implemented a managed care Designated Public Hospital (DPH) Quality Incentive Pool (QIP). The Department directed Managed Care Plans (MCPs) to make QIP payments tied to performance on designated performance metrics in four strategic categories: primary care, specialty care, inpatient care, and resource utilization. The datasets includes available data from DPHs’ annual reports, which include self-reported data on performance of QIP required metrics.  Data can be viewed via the download button.
Race/Ethnicity Health Workforce Trends

The dataset contains estimates for the number of healthcare professionals in 15 different healthcare categories (e.g., Registered Nurse, Dentist, License Clinical Social Worker, etc.) based on completion of license renewal by Race/Ethnicity. There are two timeframes: all current licenses and recent licenses (since 2017). California population estimates are also included to provide a marker for each Race/Ethnicity. Each healthcare professional category can be compared across Race/Ethnicity groups and compared to statewide population estimates, so Race/Ethnicity shortages can be identified for each healthcare professional category. For instance, a notable difference between healthcare professional category and statewide population would indicate either underrepresentation or overrepresentation for that Race/Ethnicity, depending on the direction of the difference.
Radiological Air Sample Quarterly Composites

IMPORTANT: Please see the attached PDF for more context on this dataset.  Per Health and Safety Code 114755 which mandates that "The department shall monitor radioactive materials in the environment", air sampling stations have been placed in or near major population centers with the potential for significant radiological activity.  The data presented in this table are for quarterly aggregates of sampling media per site.  Dose per quarter is reported in millirem Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE); all other values are radiological activity concentrations reported in units of picoCuries per cubic meter.  Any positive result less than the minimum detectable activity is attributable to statistical measurement noise, and results are reported even in the case of non-detection.  Beryllium-7 and Potassium-40 are naturally occurring radionuclides.  The other radionuclides in the dataset are fission products.  Detection of Cesium-137 is not necessarily indicative of a new release because atmospheric nuclear weapons testing distributed significant amounts across the world that are still measurable.
Rates of Selected Hospital Procedures Examined for Over or Under-Use by County

(See Note below regarding 2015 data). The dataset contains hospitalization counts and rates, statewide and by county, for 4 medical procedures for which there could be possible over- or under-use and for which utilization varies across hospitals or geographic areas.  High or low rates, by themselves, do not represent poor quality of care.  Instead, the information is intended to inform consumers about local practice patterns or identify potential problem areas that might need further study.  The procedures, based upon the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ’s) Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs), include: coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (age 40+), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (age 40+), hysterectomy (age 18+), and laminectomy or spinal fusion (age 18+).  Note: HCAI is only releasing the first 3 quarters of 2015 data due to a change in the reporting of diagnoses/procedures from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS effective October 1, 2015, and the inability of the AHRQ software to handle both code sets concurrently.
Readmissions for Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Complications

This report uses data from the California Cardiovascular Outcomes Reporting Program (CCORP) for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) to provide comparisons of readmissions due to isolated CABG complications from 2018 to 2022. These years are the most recently available data that is used by CCORP in its mandated annual performance reporting.
Respondents Indicating At Least 1 Type of Adverse Childhood Experience (LGHC Indicator)

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) module of the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) asks respondents questions about eight different traumatic childhood experiences that occurred before the age of 18. These include verbal/emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and negative household situations including the incarceration of an adult, alcohol or drug abuse by an adult, violence between adults, mental illness of a household member, and parental divorce or separation. A cumulative ACEs score is calculated for each respondent by counting the number of these items that a respondent reported experiencing, creating a score ranging from 0 to 8.
11 questions about adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are condensed into a ordinal scale from 0 to 8 possible ACEs. This indicator shows the prevalence of adults who reported having 1 or more ACEs. However other data cuts are available, e.g., 3 or more ACEs The ACEs module is a very "lagging" indicator capturing childhood experiences retrospectively by asking adults 18+ years of age.  Additional limitations include: 1) relies on self-reported information, 2) provides prevalence, not incidence data, 3) bias or measurement error associated with telephone-administered survey of a sample of the population (e.g., response bias, sampling variation), 4) designed to provide state-level population health estimates and does not provide sub-state estimates or estimates by racial sub-groups (e.g., Asian sub-groups) unless multiple years are combined. Because of the changes in the methodology, researchers are advised to avoid comparing data collected before the changes (up to 2010) with data collected from 2011 and onward: http://www.cdc.gov/brfss/annual_data/2013/pdf/compare_2013.pdf. In addition, due to changes in the insurance variables, the "Other Public" insurance category was not able to be calculated in 2013.
Performance Dashboard Children and Youth with an Open Child Welfare Case

The Performance Dashboard (formerly Performance Outcomes System) datasets are developed in line with legislative mandates to improve outcomes and inform decision making regarding individuals receiving Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services (SMHS). The Dashboard gathers information relevant to specific mental health outcomes and provides useful summary reports for ongoing quality improvement and to support decision making. Please note: the Excel file Performance Dashboard has been discontinued and replaced with the SMHS Performance Dashboards found on [Behavioral Health Reporting (ca.gov)](https://behavioralhealth-data.dhcs.ca.gov/).
Retail Availability of Electronic Smoking Devices by County

This data table shows the percentage of tobacco retailer stores that sell electronic smoking devices (including e-cigarettes, other vapor devices or e-liquids) in 2013 and 2016 by county. Data for three city health departments (Berkeley, Long Beach and Pasadena) were analyzed separately, results for Alameda County include the city of Berkeley and results for Los Angeles County include the cities of Pasadena and Long Beach. Results were suppressed for items with a small sample size (n =< 5) and for results considered unreliable (coefficient of variation greater than or equal to 0.5). Cities or counties that conducted a census of tobacco retailers will not have a confidence interval due to the survey methodology.

The Healthy Stores for a Healthy Community (HSHC) marketing survey measured the availability of a range of unhealthy and healthy products, as well as marketing practices for tobacco, alcohol, food and beverage items, and condoms. The California Tobacco Control Program (CTCP) invited partners in the Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Branch at the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), the Substance Use Disorders Program at the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), and the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Branch at CDPH to join the campaign and look at the retail environment from a more comprehensive perspective, as there were many local and state efforts examining one or more of these health issues in community stores. This collaboration is part of the state’s continued effort to address the burden of chronic disease and to better understand the role that stores could play in making communities healthier. In 2013, the 61 local lead agencies (LLAs) completed the HSHC survey in a total of 7,393 randomly selected stores that sell tobacco throughout the state of California. In 2016, the LLAs completed a follow-up survey in 7,152 randomly selected stores that sell tobacco statewide.
Road Traffic Injuries

This table contains data on the annual number of fatal and severe road traffic injuries per population and per miles traveled by transport mode, for California, its regions, counties, county divisions, cities/towns, and census tracts. Injury data is from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), California Highway Patrol (CHP), 2002-2010 data from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) . The table is part of a series of indicators in the [Healthy Communities Data and Indicators Project of the Office of Health Equity]. Transportation accidents are the second leading cause of death in California for people under the age of 45 and account for an average of 4,018 deaths per year (2006-2010). Risks of injury in traffic collisions are greatest for motorcyclists, pedestrians, and bicyclists and lowest for bus and rail passengers. Minority communities bear a disproportionate share of pedestrian-car fatalities; Native American male pedestrians experience 4 times the death rate as Whites or Asians, and African-Americans and Latinos experience twice the rate as Whites or Asians. More information about the data table and a data dictionary can be found in the About/Attachments section.
School Immunizations in 7th Grade by Academic Year

This dataset contains immunization status of 7th grade students in California in schools with 10 or more 7th grade students enrolled. Smaller schools were excluded to help protect privacy. Students in 7th Grade were considered to have up-to-date immunizations if they had completed the Tdap immunization requirement to receive one dose of any immunization (Tdap, DTaP or DTP) that protects against pertussis on or after their 7th birthday. The California Health and Safety Code Section 120325-75 requires students to provide proof of immunization for school and child care entry. Additionally, California Health and Safety Code Section 120375 and California Code of Regulation Section 6075 require all schools and child care facilities to assess and report annually the immunization status of their enrollees.

Under Assembly Bill 354 (2010), California Health and Safety Code Section 120335 required students in 7th grade to provide documentation of either having received a booster immunization against pertussis or an exemption to immunization. To review individual school coverage and exemption rates in a separate lookup format, go to the School Lookup page at the Immunization Branch's Shots for School website: http://www.shotsforschool.org/lookup/

School Immunizations in Kindergarten by Academic Year

This dataset contains immunization status of kindergarten students in California in schools. Explanation of the different immunizations is in the attached data dictionary. The California Health and Safety Code Section 120325-75 requires students to provide proof of immunization for school and child care entry. Additionally, California Health and Safety Code Section 120375 and California Code of Regulation Section 6075 require all schools and child care facilities to assess and report annually the immunization status of their enrollees.

The annual kindergarten assessment is conducted each fall to monitor compliance with the California School Immunization law. Results from this assessment are used to measure immunization coverage among students entering kindergarten. Not all schools reported. This data set presents results from the kindergarten assessment and immunization coverage in kindergarten schools by county.

Proportion of High School Students Who Smoked Cigarettes in the Past 30 Days (LGHC Indicator)

This is a source dataset for a Let's Get Healthy California indicator at https://letsgethealthy.ca.gov/. The California Tobacco Control Program coordinates statewide tobacco control efforts and funds the California Student Tobacco Survey (CSTS). The data table shows the current smoking prevalence from 2001-2002 to 2015-2016 for California high school youth by selected demographics. Current cigarette smoking was defined as having smoked on one or more days during the past 30 days prior to the survey. 
In statistics, a confidence interval is a measure of the reliability of an estimate. It is a type of interval estimate of a population parameter. The CSTS is a large-scale biennial survey, in-school student survey administered to middle (grades 8) and high school (grades 10 and 12) students. Topics of the survey include awareness of and use of different tobacco products; history and patterns of tobacco use; tobacco purchasing patterns; knowledge and participation in school tobacco prevention or cessation programs; perceptions of tobacco use (i.e. social norms); awareness of advertising; and susceptibility to future tobacco use.
Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) and Preventable Hospitalization Rates

The first Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) dataset contains percentages of preventable hospitalizations (i.e., discharges) by Race/Ethnicity, preferred language spoken, expected payer, percent of employment, percent of home ownership, percent of park access and percent of access to basic kitchen facilities by the stated year. Preventable hospitalizations rates were created by dividing the number of patients who are 18 years and older and were admitted to a hospital for at least one of the preventable hospitalization diagnoses (see list below) by the total number of hospitalizations. List of preventable hospitalization diagnoses: diabetes with short-term complications, diabetes with long-term complications, uncontrolled diabetes without complications, diabetes with lower-extremity amputation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, hypertension, heart failure, angina without a cardiac procedure, dehydration, bacterial pneumonia, or urinary tract infection were counted as a preventable hospitalization.  These conditions correspond with the conditions used in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ), Prevention Quality Indicator - Overall Composite Measure (PQI #90). The SDoH "overtime" dataset contains percentages of preventable hospitalizations (i.e., discharges) by Race/Ethnicity, preferred language spoken and expected payer overtime in the stated year range.
STDs in California by Disease, County, Year, and Sex

These data contain case counts and rates for sexually transmitted diseases (chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis which includes primary, secondary, and early latent syphilis) reported for California residents, by disease, county, year, and sex.

Data were extracted on cases with an estimated diagnosis date from 2001 through the last year indicated, from California Confidential Morbidity Reports and/or Laboratory Reports that were submitted to CDPH by July of the current year and which met the surveillance case definition for that disease.  Because of inherent delays in case reporting and depending on the length of follow-up of clinical, laboratory and epidemiologic investigation, cases with eligible diagnosis dates may be added or rescinded after the date of this report.
Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption in California Residents

The mean servings/times sugar-sweetened beverages consumed daily by California residents. These data are from the 2013 California Dietary Practices Surveys (CDPS), 2012 California Teen Eating, Exercise and Nutrition Survey (CalTEENS), and 2013 California Children’s Healthy Eating and Exercise Practices Survey (CalCHEEPS). These surveys are now discontinued. Adults, adolescents, and children (with parental assistance) were asked about the sugar-sweetened beverages they drank over the previous 24 hour period. Child/Adolescent: Fruit and vegetable, beverage, and junk food consumption, along with physical activity, sedentary time, active transport, sport participation, school environment, home neighborhood environment, fruit and vegetable access and availability, household/family rules, weight status, school breakfast/lunch participation, attitudes, and beliefs. Adult: Fruit and vegetable, beverage, and junk food consumption, along with physical activity, sedentary time, worksite environment, school environment, home neighborhood environment, fruit and vegetable access and availability, household/family rules, weight status and weight loss practices, and food security. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, sugar-sweetened beverages provide excess calories and few essential nutrients to the diet and should only be consumed when nutrient needs have been met and without exceeding daily calorie limits.
Immunizations in First Grade by Academic Year

This dataset contains immunization status of first grade students in California in schools. Explanation of the different immunizations is in the attached data dictionary. The California Health and Safety Code Section 120325-75 requires students to provide proof of immunization for school and child care entry. Additionally, California Health and Safety Code Section 120375 and California Code of Regulation Section 6075 require all schools and child care facilities to assess and report annually the immunization status of their enrollees.

The first grade assessment was added in fall 2021 to monitor compliance of the kindergarten cohort impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic with the California School Immunization law. Results from this assessment are used to measure immunization coverage among students entering first grade. Not all schools reported. This data set presents results from the first grade assessment and immunization coverage in first grade by school and county.
