The Affordable Care Act (ACA) — the nation's recent health care reform law — is expected to expand access to health insurance coverage for more New Yorkers and to emphasize preventive and primary care that has the most potential to save lives and prevent disease. As the ACA is implemented over the next several years, this series will monitor changes in access to primary care. - Including New Yorkers Who Can Be Reached Only by Cell Phone in the Community Health Survey: Results from the 2008 Cell Phone Pilot Survey

May 2010
The Community Health Survey (CHS) is an annual telephone survey that is a primary source of data used by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to monitor the health of New York Yorkers, evaluate the outcomes of public health initiatives, and guide policy decisions. As part of the 2008 CHS, the DOHMH conducted a Cell Phone Pilot Survey to collect information from New Yorkers who could only be reached by cell phone, a population not captured by the landline telephone sample used by the CHS. This Epi Research Report shares the results of this pilot.
