During the COVID-19 pandemic, @nycHealthy had to develop new ways to understand the impact of the pandemic on physical health, mental health, and social determinants of health – so we pivoted and adapted our survey tools to better fill this need: ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJ… 
@nycHealthy conducts routine surveys to understand the health of NYC residents. When COVID-19 hit, we adjusted our strategies and developed new surveys that gave us actionable insights into the pandemic and NYC’s health and explicitly incorporated measures of racial inequities.
Our Community Health Survey was adapted to ask questions about COVID-19 and recruit respondents for a population-based serosurvey. This let us measure the percentage of the population who had symptoms of COVID-19 even if they did not seek care or testing.
A new survey panel, Healthy NYC, was launched in June 2020 and is being used to collect data on COVID-19, mental health, and social determinants of health, giving us insights and measures of the collateral consequences of COVID-19 in NYC.
Finally, we conduct frequent Health Opinion Polls to learn about COVID-19–related knowledge, attitudes, and opinions, including vaccine intentions. The results are used to understand public opinions on health-related aspects of the emergency.
