Using data collected from the first New York City Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NYC HANES) in 2004, researchers from NYU Langone, the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and other institutions have published more than 20 scientific articles.

Findings from these research articles have led to action and policy changes that have improved the health of all New York City residents, and some have also contributed to the national conversation about public health.
