Learn how to power up your program planning and policy advocacy with data from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), the nation’s largest survey on the health care needs of California’s large and diverse population. Join staff from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research’s Health DATA Program, Tuesday, October 30, 9 am – 2 pm, for a NEW, no-cost, one-day workshop on how to use AskCHIS, the free easy-to-use online Web tool from CHIS that enables you to search for health statistics on your county, region or statewide.

The training will focus specific health issues including access to healthcare and environmental health.  You’ll learn how to develop your data question to obtain survey results, how to interpret your results and how to graph and export data for reports and presentations. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore AskCHIS to search for data of interest to your community.

Sponsored by The California Endowment and the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, this workshop is designed for community organizations serving Los Angeles-area communities.
