Purpose

The primary aim of the 2006 Louisiana Health and Population Survey is to provide state and local authorities with accurate demographic, health, and economic information to inform decision-making and recovery planning.
The project goals are to:

1. Obtain population estimates and health and economic information to assist in public health, emergency preparedness, and economic development planning.
2. Compare survey-based population estimates with modeled estimates.
3. Develop a sustainable survey program to provide continuous population estimates as requested by federal, state, and local authorities.
