NYC Community Health Survey (CHS)
NYC COVID-19 Community Resources and Needs Assessment (NYC COVID-19 CHRNA)
The NYC COVID-19 Community Resources and Needs Assessment (CHRNA) survey was a collaboration between NYU Center for the Study of Asian American (CSAAH), the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF), Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC), and 28 partnering community-based organizations. Together, CSAAH and our partners collaboratively worked to develop and launch a community health survey to better understand the experiences of Asian American communities during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the New York City (NYC) metropolitan area.
The NYC COVID-19 CHRNA survey instrument was developed in close partnership with community partners. The survey was administered online between April 23, 2021 to November 5, 2021. The web survey could be completed in several languages, including: Bangla, Burmese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Punjabi, Tagalog, Urdu, and Vietnamese. To participate in the survey, individuals needed to be 18 years of age or older, self-identify as Asian American, Arab American, or Latinx, and as a resident in the NYC metropolitan area.
**The NYC COVID-19 CHRNA builds on the work from CSAAH's prior rounds of CHRNA surveying, conducted in Asian American communities in NYC.

Short Report
In March 2022, we released advance findings from our needs assessment in the form of a short report. In this short report, we highlight findings in three key areas: COVID-19 vaccination, food hardship and access to food, and language access, and also suggest opportunities where direct support can be provided to support specific NYC Asian American communities to address these challenges. Findings from this survey effort verified existing patterns that have already been observed and described as having impact on Asian American communities, such as economic hardship, disruptions in access to healthcare and experiencing anti-Asian discrimination.
