Between 2010 and 2011, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted the Physical Activity and Transit Survey (PAT). PAT includes three datasets collected via the following methods:

The survey also asked a variety of questions on neighborhood safety and access to food, and about general physical and mental health.
  • Week-long accelerometer data for valid cases (wear time 10+ hours on 4+ days) from 679 respondents
  • Raw minute-by-minute accelerometer data for 1 week from 679 respondents
