CUNY and the NYC Health Dept. Offer Researchers New Data and Biospecimen Resource
The NYC HANES initiative was led by co-principal investigators Dr. Lorna Thorpe from CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy and Ms. Sharon Perlman from the NYC Health Department, employing a household-based sampling design and home-based physical examination methodology. The project was primarily supported by the de Beaumont Foundation, with additional support from Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, New York State Health Foundation, Robin Hood Foundation, and Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
NYC HANES is modeled after the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey which has been conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics for more than 35 years.
More than 20 academic articles have been published using the 2004 NYC HANES dataset. Now CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy and the NYC Department of Health invite researchers in public health, medicine, and other fields to download the most recent dataset or submit a proposal to receive specimens for their own research.
