Summary:

The Community Health Survey (CHS) has been conducted annually by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene since 2002. The CHS aims to collect data to form a better understanding of the health and risk behaviors of New Yorkers and to track key indicators over time. All data collected are self-reported. The CHS queried respondents on the following topics: general health status, mental health, health care access, body weight, cardiovascular health, diabetes, asthma, immunizations, nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, soda consumption and cancer screening. The survey gathered information about sexual identity, sexual behavior, contraception usage, sexual history, HIV, smoking habits, smoking cessation, where cigarettes and cessation aids were purchased, and second hand smoke. Additional information was collected on whether respondents were taking any medication to control their medical and mental health issues. Demographic variables include gender, age, marital status, employment status, race, poverty level, income, and education level. Cf.: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR35013.v1
