This suggests that inviting panelists using multiple forms of contact information and offering multiple response modes may increase a survey’s representativeness. Previous research has found that the type of contact information provided and the likelihood of responding to surveys are associated with sociodemographic characteristics. This is a particular concern in health-related surveys because non-respondents reportedly have a higher prevalence of risky health behaviors and poor self-rated health. While Healthy NYC is a probabilistically constructed panel, encouraging participation in Healthy NYC surveys in ways that maintain representativeness remains a key concern. They have provided information on the prevalence of COVID-like illness opinions about treatment, testing, and vaccination awareness of governmental recommendations mental health and financial consequences of the pandemic and associated racial inequities. Since the panel’s inception, Healthy NYC surveys have primarily focused on experiences during and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthy NYC provides a cost-effective mechanism for providing priority and timely health information. ![]() Healthy NYC is an innovative local survey panel created by the New York City (NYC) Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s (DOHMH) Division of Epidemiology in the spring of 2020.
