About the Survey

The NYC Neighborhood Wellness Survey (NYC NWS) is a mail-based survey.


The survey is being conducted by NYC Department of Mental Health and Hygiene (Health Department) in collaboration with the City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) to check in on the health of New Yorkers, influence health program decisions, and better understand how health issues are impacting residents.


The results of this survey will be used to learn more about your health, the health of your neighborhood, and inform policy and funding decisions to support programs that improve New Yorkers’ health.

Your participation will help the Health Department identify how to best support the health of New Yorkers.


In return you’ll be compensated for your time.


Your participation is confidential and for research purposes only.
