Are you interested in downloading all of the small area estimates for all levels of geography that are provided in the AskCHIS Neighborhood Edition (NE) platform? Are you looking to analyze local California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) estimates to understand the community needs in the area served by your organization?
The AskCHIS NE Application Programming Interface (API) or the AskCHIS NE Individual Data Request might be the products you are looking for.
The AskCHIS NE API gives web developers, programmers, and data analysts on-demand access to the most current health information from AskCHIS NE for all California counties, cities, congressional districts, ZIP codes, and census tracts. For a web developer, this means programmatic access to estimates that can be used for data portals, visualizations, and clinical applications. For data analysts, it means bringing granular health information directly into statistical software that can be merged with outside data for more layered research and analysis. Read an example of how St. Joseph Health used the AskCHIS NE API to inexpensively access data for their service area in order to target their community outreach efforts more effectively.
If you don’t need access to data for all indicators or all geographic areas, the AskCHIS NE Individual Data Request might be a better option for you. It provides users with a statewide data file for a single specific health indicator for the specific level of geography that you choose.
