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.

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. A series of reports for the county’s eight Service Planning Areas highlight opportunities for health improvement in each local area, and can be requested below. These reports were designed to be shared with concerned community groups, such as health care providers, schools, neighborhoods and business associations to help them work together toward achieving better health for all.
