S.F. County Takes Part in Federal Health Care Study

Federal researchers have begun evaluating, measuring and interviewing San Francisco County residents about their health care and dietary habits as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. San Francisco County was selected as one of 15 counties this year for the 52nd annual survey, which provides federal agencies with health care data for a range of initiatives and policies. Researchers hope to interview at least 500 randomly selected San Francisco County residents, and program officials expect that at least 70% of residents will be Asian.
