In 2004 and 2013, NYC HANES measured the health of adults living throughout New York City. With data and bio-specimens for more than 3,500 New Yorkers across the two time periods, we are now pleased to offer these data to researchers around the world.
Since the 2004 survey was completed, more than 20 academic articles have been published. Now we invite researchers in public health, medicine and other fields to download the most recent dataset or submit a proposal to receive specimens for your own research. Read More
NYC HANES is a representative health survey of NYC adult residents that includes a detailed health interview and brief physical exam. The survey was most recently conducted by the City University of New York School of Public Health (CUNY SPH) and the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) in 2013-2014. In 2004, the NYC DOHMH conducted the first NYC HANES. NYC HANES is modeled after a similar national survey – the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) – which has been conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics for more than 35 years.Data and biospecimens collected as part of NYC HANES are available to health researchers and policy makers through our public use resources contained on this website.
