L.A. County Health Survey

The Los Angeles County Health Survey is a population based telephone survey that provides information concerning the health of  Los Angeles County residents. The data are used for assessing health-related needs of the population, for program planning and policy development, and for program evaluation. The relatively large sample size allows users to obtain health indicator data for large demographic subgroups and across geographic regions of the County, including Service Planning Areas and Health Districts.

 The 2010 Los Angeles County Health Survey is now in the field. We are collecting important public health data from 8,000 adults and 6,000 parents of children 0-17 years old. More information will be available in 2011.

Key Indicators of Health

Health indicators represent one available tool for monitoring the overall health of the population, and for communicating with the public about key opportunities for health improvement. Every 2-3 years, the Office of Health Assessment and Epidemiology compiles and presents data from the Los Angeles County Health Survey and from other public health programs in the Key Indicators of Health Report. The data describe the status of health in the County's eight Service Planning Areas, highlighting opportunities for health improvement in each local area. In addition, in collaboration with the Office of Women's Health, in 2007 data were compiled describing Health Indicators for Women in Los Angeles County, by race/ethnicity and by health insurance status. These reports were designed to be shared with concerned community groups, such as health care providers, schools, neighborhoods, and non-profit and business associations, to help us work together toward achieving better health for all.
