available in our
reports.
Query System - (2007 & 2005 LACHS Only)
The L.A. HealthDataNow! project was established by
epidemiologists of the Department of Public Health (DPH)
to close the gap on data accessibility. Utilizing tools
commonly used by DPH analysts, programs can not only
provide their data in an automated and flexible manner,
but they can also incorporate automated statistical
analysis into the query system. Ultimately, the goal of
this project is to extend this query system to all DPH
programs that have similar interests to make their
public health data more accessible.
The
LACHS Query System is available for automated
analysis of the 2007 and 2005 survey data.
Trend Tables
Trend data tables
are included here by
specific topic of interest.
General Data Requests
If there are specific LACHS data or analyses you need that are unavailable on our
website, our staff can provide them. We routinely fulfill customized data requests
for community-based organizations, advocacy groups, researchers writing grant
proposals, and government agencies. Turn-around time is usually a minimum of 2 weeks,
but varies depending on the nature and complexity of the request.
Please call (213) 240-7785, Monday through Friday, for further assistance.
Data Requests for Research Collaborators
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is interested in making the
best possible use of LACHS data and in furthering collaborations with academic
centers and other institutions. To this end, the Health Assessment Unit provides
survey datasets to researchers interested in conducting their own analyses. Requests
to use the LACHS non-public use data set are considered on a case-by-case basis, and
require submission of a brief proposal describing study aims, the analysis plan, and
plan for dissemination of findings. We also require documentation of data security
measures and willingness to cooperate with DPH staff. For more information about
accessing the LACHS dataset, please contact Dr.
Gayane Meschyan
(gmeschyan@ph.lacounty.gov)
or Dr. Susie Baldwin (sbaldwin@ph.lacounty.gov).
