We are excited to announce that the new version of DAC Online is now live!

The Data Access Center (DAC) based at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research provides services to analyze California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data in a secure, controlled environment that protects the confidentiality of respondents.

Using DAC Online, researchers can apply for access to our confidential CHIS data, which include: detailed geographic identifiers, complete demographic information for survey respondents, and highly sensitive information (e.g., sexual behaviors, mental health treatment) that has been specifically excluded from the freely available Public Use Files.

Researchers can use DAC Online to: 

• Track the status of your application
• Send and receive support tickets 
• Submit amendments (e.g., Additional Variable Request, Expansion Application, Renewal Application).

Explore enhanced features and streamlined access to make your research project application smoother.
