The NCI has sponsored five Cancer Control Modules in the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS), and will be sponsoring a sixth to be administered in 2011. CHIS is a telephone survey that collects population-based, standardized health-related data to assess California's progress in meeting Healthy People 2010 objectives for the nation and the state. The purpose of CHIS-CCM is to collect data to allow NCI to examine patterns and trends in cancer screening and follow-up, as well as to study other cancer-related topics such as diet and physical activity, by collecting data on health- and disease-related topics such as patterns and trends in cancer screening, disease risk factors, disease outcomes, and family history of disease. Additionally, CHIS is designed to be comparable to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data in order to conduct comparative analyses. CHIS provides enhanced estimates for cancer risk factors and screening among racial/ethnic minority populations.
