Summary:

The 2007 New York City Community Health Survey (CHS) obtained telephone interviews with a representative sample of 9,520 adults age 18 years and older living in the 5 boroughs of New York City. CHS 2007 covered the following health topics: general health status, health care access, dental care, preventive counseling, mental health, cardiovascular health, diabetes, asthma, physical activity, nutrition, smoking, second-hand smoke, child care, cancer screening, HIV, sexual behavior, alcohol use, and immunizations. Interviews were completed in English, Spanish, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), as well as multiple other languages, according to the preference of the respondent. The interviews were conducted by Baruch Survey Research Unit between March and November, 2007. The sample was geo-stratified to collect interviews from 42 United Hospital Fund (UHF) areas in New York City. Weights were constructed at the UHF-level to allow the sample to provide neighborhood-level estimations of both individual adults and of households in New York City. The margin of sampling error for the complete set of weighted data is +/-1.44 percent for citywide household estimations, and +/-1.56 percent for citywide individual-level estimations. A core group of demographic variables are included to facilitate weighting and comparisons among different groups of New Yorkers. These demographic variables include gender, age, marital status, employment status, race, income, and educational attainment. Cf.: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR27363.v1
