More American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) reside in California (CA) than any other state in the US. There are 107 federally recognized tribes in CA, also more than any state, except Alaska. There are many non-federally recognized tribes as well. Interestingly, there are more AIANs who live in CA who are Non-CA Indians. The California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) 2001 is a public service collaborative of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, The CA DHS and The Public Health Institute. The CHIS surveyed of over 54,000 households, focusing on public health and access to health care. The CHIS will provide local-level estimates for counties with populations of 40,000 or more, and statewide estimates for CA's overall population and its major racial and ethnic groups. The CHIS 2001 contains the largest known sample of AIAN, an unweighted total of 3,042 (2,694 in the RDD and 351 in the oversample). The oversample was funded by the California Area Indian Health Service (IHS). A dual-frame sampling strategy was used to allow for comparisons between urban and rural areas. This presentation will report on the oversample strategy and process, including: (a) coordination with IHS; (b) participation of community leaders; (c) the effectivity of social networks in contacting tribes and urban Indian health/social/political organizations; and (d) lessons learned. In addition, some basic estimates will be available, and information on how to access the CHIS data by community based organizations and researchers will be provided.
