Table 6: Cancer-Associated Behaviors.
The 2017 Environmental Health Survey used community-based participatory action research strategies and snowball sampling of 100 adults in Knights Landing, California. Yolo County results were from random samples collected through the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) (UCLA Center for Health Policy Research n.d.). Categorical data are presented as the proportion of respondents with 95% binomial confidence intervals (CI) and numerical data are presented as mean with CI. Significant differences between the Knights Landing and county samples are noted as * p < 0.05.

Publicly available 2016 AskCHIS Neighborhood Edition (UCLA Center for Health Policy Research n.d.) estimates are included here for reference for the two census tracts that represent Knights Landing and are not recommended for statistical comparisons: current smoker 9% (7, 11) and current electronic cigarette user 3% (2, 4). Conversely, publicly available 2020 California Health Maps data (University of California San Francisco n.d.) reveals a discrepancy in health agency monitoring estimates of adults who are current smokers: 7% for region Yolo 1 (A0766) and 16% for region Sutter (B0403).
