2006 Louisiana Health and Population Survey
Conducted by the Louisiana Health Institute.
Hurricanes Katrina (August 29, 2005) and Rita (September 23, 2005) caused extensive damage across southern Louisiana and displaced numerous residents from the affected parishes. 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.
