The Community Health Survey (CHS) has been conducted annually by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene since 2002. The CHS aims to collect data to form a better understanding of the health and risk behaviors of New Yorkers and to track key indicators over time. All data collected are self-reported. The CHS queried respondents on the following topics: general health status, mental health, health care access, body weight, cardiovascular health, diabetes, asthma, immunizations, nutrition, physical activity, alcohol consumption, soda consumption and cancer screening. The survey gathered information about sexual identity, sexual behavior, contraception usage, sexual history, HIV, smoking habits, smoking cessation, where cigarettes and cessation aids were purchased, and second hand smoke. Additional information was collected on whether respondents were taking any medication to control their medical and mental health issues. Demographic variables include gender, age, marital status, employment status, race, poverty level, income, and education level.

The 2010 CHS used an overlapping sample design. Most interviews were of New York City adults randomly selected from residential households contacted using a RDD list-assisted landline telephone sample. Additional interviews came from RDD cellular telephone sample. Adults living in residential facilities (e.g., group housing, college dorms) were not included.
Adults aged 18 years or older living in residential housing in New York City.

2014-04-17 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
The data contain a weight variable (WT11_DUAL) and a stratification variable (STRATA) that users may wish to use in analysis. The weight consists of an adjustment for the probability of selection (number of adults in each household / number of residential telephone lines), as well as a post-stratification weight. The post-stratification weights are created by weighting each record up to the population of the UHF neighborhood, while taking into account the respondent's age, gender and race. Starting in 2009, responses were also weighted to account for the distribution of the adult population comprising three telephone usage categories (landline only, landline and cell, cell only) using data from the 2008 New York City Housing and Vacancy Survey.
