The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program overseen by the US Agency for International AID (USAID) uses nationally representative surveys, biomarker testing, and geographic location to collect data on monitoring and impact evaluation indicators for individual countries and for cross-country comparisons. Standardized DHS surveys include the Demographic and Health Survey, Service Provision Assessment,...

The Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output (PLUTO) dataset contains land use and geographic data about New York City at the tax lot level. It is an open data set compiled by various agencies and departments in the New York City government, including the Department of City Planning (DCP), Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), and Landmarks Preservation Commission...

The MIDAS (Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study) Online Portal for COVID-19 Modeling Research is a collection of publicly-available COVID-19 resources to support dashboard monitoring, data processing, modeling, and visualization efforts. Collections listed in the portal include case counts and case line lists with documented metadata, peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed parameter estimates, and...

The global dataset includes aggregated and anonymized daily mobility trends using data from users who turned on Google's Location History setting from February 2020 through October 2022. Mobility data is reported on a national level and for smaller administrative regions (e.g. states, provinces) where available. Locations are grouped into 6 categories: retail and recreation, grocery and pharmacy, parks,...

To construct a fixed time-scaled phylogenetic tree, the investigators combined 828 viral genome sequences obtained from COVID-19 patients at NYU Langone Health between March and May 2020 with 1,899 background sequences that were contributed to the Nextstrain repository. A total of 2,727 SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences are available in the dataset. The supporting R code included with the dataset will produce...

Utilizing genomic sequencing data collected from COVID-19 patients in New York City metropolitan area, investigators produced a comparison of the introduction and dispersal of the main SARS-CoV-2 variants (Alpha, Iota, Delta, and Omicron-BA.1) from 2020 through 2022. The analysis included 5,577 sequences obtained from samples collected as part of genomic surveillance at NYU Langone Health from December...

This dataset was collected to compare cannabis and alcohol policies for localities (N = 241) within 12 California counties. The investigators collected and coded the legal text to compare overall restrictiveness and nine specific provisions that applied to both substances: Limits on hours of sale Limits on advertising Responsible server training requirements Prohibitions on outlet overconcentration Minimum...

Matthay et al integrated multiple data sources to investigate the association between local policies in California on cannabis outlet distribution, particularly in vulnerable neighborhoods. For 241 localities within 12 counties in California, the investigators identified seven policies pertaining to the density or location of recreational cannabis outlets, geocoded outlets using web-scraped data from...

This study compared SARS-CoV-2 sequences that were collected from infected patients (n=2,397) who were seen at NYU Langone Health facilities and globally (n=24,060 sequences in GISAID) between August 1, 2022, and February 4, 2023 to understand the proliferation of Omicron strain XBB.1.5. Active SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed with positive real-time (RT)-qPCR testing. To assess the association between...
