About the Data

All NYC children are required to be tested for lead poisoning at around age 1 and age 2, and to be screened for risk of lead poisoning, and tested if at risk, up until age 6. These data are an indicator of children younger that 6 years of age tested in NYC in a given year with blood lead levels of 5 mcg/dL or greater. In 2012, CDC established that a blood lead level of 5 mcg/dL is the reference level for exposure to lead in children. This level is used to identify children who have blood lead levels higher than most children's levels. The reference level is determined by measuring the NHANES blood lead distribution in US children ages 1 to 5 years, and is reviewed every 4 years.

HIV/AIDS data from the HIV Surveillance Annual Report
Data reported to the HIV Epidemiology Program by March 31, 2022. All data shown are for people ages 18 and older. Borough-wide and citywide totals may include cases assigned to a borough with an unknown UHF or assigned to NYC with an unknown borough, respectively. Therefore, UHF totals may not sum to borough totals and borough totals may not sum to citywide totals.""

The NYC Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is conducted through an ongoing collaboration between the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Department of Education (DOE), and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Bodegas & Grocery Stores Receiving Recognition from Borough President's Office

Each year, bodegas and grocery stores located in and around Action Center catchment areas participate in the Shop Healthy NYC program's Retail Challenge to increase (1) availability of healthier foods, such as low-sodium canned goods, healthier snacks and deli options; (2) promotion of healthier foods by posting Shop Healthy marketing materials for healthier foods and removing unhealthy advertising from the front door; and (3) visibility of healthier foods by placing them in more prominent locations, such as placing produce at the checkout counter or near the front entrance of the store, and water and other low-calorie drinks at eye-level. Stores that have implemented all of the program’s criteria at the conclusion of the Retail Challenge, and maintain them for at least one month, receive a recognition award from the Borough President's Office to acknowledge their efforts and dedication to make the healthy choice, the easier choice for their communities.

This is a manually compiled list of stores, which is based on data collected through implementation checklists; these are forms completed by Shop Healthy staff as part of store observations that track whether each criteria has been met. At this time, the program does not have processes in place to ensure that stores maintain the changes past one-month.

Maternal mortality is widely considered an indicator of overall population health and the status of women in the population. DOHMH uses multiple methods including death certificates, vital records linkage, medical examiner records, and hospital discharge data to identify all pregnancy-associated deaths (deaths that occur during pregnancy or within a year of the end of pregnancy) of New York state residents in NYC each year. DOHMH convenes the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee (M3RC), a multidisciplinary and diverse group of 40 members that conducts an in-depth, expert review of each pregnancy-associated death of New York state residents occurring in NYC from both clinical and social determinants of health perspectives. The data in this table come from vital records and the M3RC review process. Data are not cross-classified on all variables: cause of death data are available by the relation to pregnancy (pregnancy-related, pregnancy-associated but not related, unable to determine), race/ethnicity and borough of residence data are each separately available for the total number of pregnancy-associated deaths and pregnancy-related deaths only.

The dataset contains current inspection data for cafeterias permitted in public, private, and parochial schools in NYC.

This is a list of over 325 venues, across the five boroughs that actively distribute free safer sex products. Product availability varies by venue.
The NYC Condom Availability Program maintains a robust list of active venues where New York City (NYC) residents may access free safer sex products across all 5 boroughs of NYC. This list is updated through a variety of mechanisms supported by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH). At minimum, different sub-sets of this dataset are updated monthly by several vetted DOHMH contracted agencies. Other subsets of this dataset are updated in real-time by NYC Safer Sex Portal users. This entire dataset is refreshed in OpenData on a daily basis.
This dataset shows where New York City residents can access NYC free safer sex products throughout the five boroughs. Each row represents pertinent information related to a single venue which distributes NYC safer sex products.
This data is collected and maintained to populate the NYC HealthMap (https://a816-healthpsi.nyc.gov/NYCHealthMap/home/) and may be used by other safer sex product [condom/lubricant] locators or map publically available locations.
This dataset does not represent all locations which received orders of free safer sex products from NYC DOHMH nor have the listed venues [locations] been endorsed by NYC DOHMH. Furthermore, while the data is sourced from the NYC HealthMap there could be a lag between what is visible inside the HealthMap’s user interface and what is seen on OpenData. The NYC HealthMap is updated ~hourly while OpenData is updated daily. If there are data discrepancies between your export and what is seen inside OpenData’s “View Data” please clear your browsing history/cache and restart your browser.

MenuStat.org is an interactive online database of nutrition and menu information from top national restaurant chains. Each item is coded a mutually exclusive food category and descriptive information is coded into binary variables (e.g. on the kids menu). A new year of data is added annually and individual menu items are linked over time with a unique ID, allowing for trend analyses. On MenuStat.org, menu items that can be ordered together as part of a customizable or combination meal are linked together by a unique ID (Customizable_Build_ID) and all data can be exported for further analyses. NYC DOHMH developed and maintains MenuStat, but it is hosted externally

Severe maternal morbidity (SMM) refers to life-threatening complications of labor and delivery that result in significant short- or long-term health consequences. SMM data are derived from linking NYC birth certificates for births occurring at NYC facilities with the mother's delivery hospitalization record from the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System. SMM is identified using an established algorithm developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that comprises 21 indicators that represent diagnoses of serious complications of pregnancy or delivery or procedures used to manage serious conditions. Each record represents the aggregated number and rate of SMM events in the population group specified for the year specified.
