The National Asthma Survey- New York State (NAS-NYS) was a telephone survey that screened for the presence of asthma in households in New York. The NAS-NYS data were collected using the SLAITS mechanism, but the survey was separate and distinct from the other two NAS samples (national and four-state). A detailed report (entitled 'National Asthma Survey - New York State summary report”) is available online, and was produced by the New York State Department of Health, Public Health Information Group, Center for Community Health (Cooperative Agreement #U59/CCU220867).

Data warehouses or query systems that incorporate SLAITS data

 

• The Data Resource Center for Child & Adolescent Health, a project of the Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (housed at the Oregon Health & Sciences University,   Portland, OR). This site provides a wealth of information on the analysis, interpretation, use, and dissemination of data for a number of SLAITS modules.
• The NCHS Survey Measures Catalog: Child and Adolescent Mental Health, launched in 2007. It contains mental health measures from a number of SLAITS modules and other NCHS surveys.
• Child health care quality toolbox: It provides resources to improve measurement and evaluation of quality in children's health programs.
