UCLA's California Health Interview Survey found the number of young Californians ages 18 to 30 who reported having no sexual partners in the previous year reached a decade high of 38%. In 2011, 22% of young people reported having no sexual partners during the previous year, and the percentage climbed fairly steadily as the decade progressed.
In a recently released survey by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, it was found that nearly one-third of adult Californians would decline any additional COVID-19 vaccine doses.
Data from the 2021 California Health Interview Survey, for instance, shows that California teens 15 to 17 and young adults 18 to 24 are more likely to experience serious psychological distress — defined as diagnosable mental health challenges that warrant treatment — than any other age group. About 40% of teens and 36% of young adults in those age groups are likely to have serious psychological distress, much higher than the 19% average in the overall population.
In fact, data from the California Health Interview Survey show significant differences in health for select Asian subgroups, such as greater prevalence of high blood pressure, asthma, heart disease, and delayed medication use for Filipinos compared to Asians overall.
The survey, published by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, found that California adults who have not completed the primary vaccine series against COVID-19 did not do so for several reasons: 48% think a vaccine for COVID is unnecessary, 45% worried about side effects, and 44% think the vaccine was developed too quickly.

A new survey says nearly a third of adults in California say they would decline any additional COVID vaccine doses. The poll conducted by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research also found that 22% of adults who completed the primary vaccine series have not received any additional doses, and 33% of adults say they do not have an N95 or KN95 mask more than half of them saying they would not be able to get one because they are too expensive.
