The NYC Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NYC HANES), modeled on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), is a population-based, cross-sectional study with data collected from physical examinations, clinical and laboratory tests, as well as face-to-face interviews and audio computer-assisted self-interviews (ACASI). It was first conducted in 2004 by the NYC Department...

This ongoing prospective cohort study examines a wide range of individual, social and structural factors as predictors of risk and resilience for behavioral outcomes (e.g., substance use and sexual activity), mental health conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety) and biological outcomes (e.g., HIV seroconversion, viral and bacterial sexually transmitted infections) in a sample of emerging adult men based...

This dataset was generated during a repeated cross-sectional national telephone survey of households, conducted as part of the evaluation of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Urban Health Initiative (UHI). UHI is a long-term effort to improve the health, safety, and well-being of children and youth in five economically distressed cities in the United States: Baltimore, MD, Detroit, MI, Oakland,...

INSIGHT Clinical Research Network is a project founded by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and is part of the PCORnet program. The INSIGHT longitudinal datasets bring together New York City organizations including medical schools, medical centers, research support organizations, and practice-based research networks. Over 160 million patient encounters and 365 million diagnoses...

Researchers collected data in the South Bronx to determine the impact of government-subsidized supermarkets in high-need areas on food availability and dietary habits. Data was collected in Morrisania, a community in the South Bronx where the government-subsidized New York City FRESH Program supermarket was opened and in Highbridge, a comparison community in the South Bronx that does not have a similar...

This data was compiled as part of a project to analyze existing administrated data to investigate the impact of the food environment on body mass index BMI. The project aimed to characterize the relationship between population characteristics and the urban food environment, determine the impact of variation in the urban food environment on BMI, and identify interaction effects between demographic characteristics...

The City Health Dashboard presents city- and/or census tract-level data for over 970 cities across the United States to describe population health within local contexts. Metrics included in the dashboard encompass five broad domains: health outcomes, social and economic factors, health behavior, physical environment, and clinical care. The underlying data originates from a combination of publicly-available...

To examine the air quality in metropolitan subway systems in the United States, investigators collected air samples from 71 stations across 12 transit lines in New York City (NYC), Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC during rush-hour periods. Samples of particulate matter (PM) and black carbon (BC) were collected from the Philadelphia transit system in 2015; all others were collected between June...

To study emissions from mobile food carts in New York City, investigators sampled the air quality around 19 food carts which used propane, charcoal, or a combination of propane and charcoal as cooking fuels. Food cart emissions were compared to air sampling at control sites located upwind and at least 100 meters away from the food carts under study. The study data includes real-time concentrations...
