Though transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth are disproportionately affected by suicide and disordered eating, little research has explored the relationship between the two using state-level data. This exploratory study examined whether disordered eating behaviors moderate the observed relationship between gender and suicide among adolescents. Multivariate logistic regression was performed on the population-based 2023 Healthy Kids Colorado S…
Research By Us, For Us
Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) address intervention and prevention of community-based interpersonal violence. HVIPs employ Violence Prevention Professionals (VPPs) as first responders to the hospital bedside for patients who present with injuries resulting from community-based interpersonal violence, including firearm injury, stab wounds, and assault. Despite the growing presence of HVIPs in the U.S., the model lacks proces…
Associations between Adolescent Marijuana Use, Driving after Marijuana Use and Recreational Retail Sale in Colorado, USA

METHODS: = 47,518). Modified Poisson regression with robust variance estimates was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) comparing the pre-d…
Enhancing Methodological Approaches for Studying Health Effects of High-Concentration THC Products
For public health protection, informed decision-making relies on having a robust foundation of evidence concerning risks and their prevention. Application of an evidence-based framework depends on the availability of pertinent, scientifically sound data generated by well-directed and valid research endeavors. In this essay, we address the current state of research in humans and the evidential base concerning high-concentration delta-9-tetrahydroc…
Team sports participation, depression, and suicidal ideation in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning adolescents
Rates of depression and suicide are rising in adolescents, with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth experiencing higher rates. We examined the relationship between team sports participation, depression, and suicidal ideation among a representative sample of adolescents ( n = 46,537) in the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey. Logistic regression models using team sports participation to predict depression and suicidal idea…
The Association of School Learning Environment With Adolescent Health Behaviors
BACKGROUND: In 2020, schools shifted to remote learning in response to mitigating COVID-19. Since then, students have fluctuated between in-person and remote learning environments. Changes to instructional models raise questions about the impact on health. METHODS: This study leveraged a statewide surveillance system (Healthy Kids Colorado Survey) to examine the relationship between learning environment and adolescent health. The survey was admin…
Health Effects of High-Concentration Cannabis Products
Background. The concentration of pharmacologically active tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in cannabis products has been increasing over the past decade. Concerns about potential harmful health effects of using these increasingly higher-concentration products have led some states to consider regulation of cannabis product THC concentration. We conducted a scoping review of health effects of high-concentration cannabis products to inform policy on wheth…

A qualitative study of effective collaboration among nurse home visitors, healthcare providers and community support services in the United States
Collaboration across sectors is needed to improve community health, but little is known about collaborative activities among public health prevention programs. Using the Nurse-Family Partnership® (NFP) home visiting program as context, this qualitative study aimed to describe effective collaboration among nurse home visitors, healthcare providers and community support services to serve families experiencing social and economic adversities. We use…
Adolescent Health Behaviors in Schools with 4‐ Versus 5‐Day School Weeks
BACKGROUND: The adoption of a shortened school week from the traditional 5 to 4 days is increasing nationwide. Budgetary and staffing needs are driving the change, yet research on the effects on students is lacking, especially regarding student health. Our study examined student health in 4 vs 5-day schools in Colorado, a state with one of the highest numbers of schools with a 4-day week. METHODS: Data are from a population-based survey of high-s…

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of gun retailers in the US mountain west. Analyses included descriptive statistics and ordered logistic regression. Results: Ninety-five gun retailers responded to the survey (25% response rate) and 67.6% (95% CI: …
Legalized marijuana
This study examines the extent to which knowledge of recreational marijuana laws, health effects, and perceptions of risk for marijuana use differ between Spanish- and English-speaking Latino survey respondents from a registry of Colorado adults. Spanish-speaking Latino respondents ( n = 47) had less accurate knowledge of laws permitting use of marijuana than English-speaking Latino respondents ( n = 154), while reporting greater agreement with n…
Law Enforcement and Gun Retailers as Partners for Safely Storing Guns to Prevent Suicide
Objectives. To examine the extent to which law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and gun retailers are willing to offer voluntary, temporary storage as a part of an overall suicide prevention effort. Methods.

Results. We collected data in 2016 from 448…
Preventing the invisible plague of firearm suicide
There is an underappreciation among the general public and among health professionals that firearms are implicated in just over half of all suicide deaths. Suicide attempts with firearms are much more lethal than attempts using other methods, with more than 85% of individuals using a firearm dying compared to 2% for individuals using poisoning, 31% by jumping, and 69% by hanging. There is a well-researched and clear connection between access to f…

Methods. The Health Behavior in School-Aged Children surveys of nationally representative samples of students in grades 6 through 10 were completed in 1998 (n = 15 686), 2002 (n = 14 818), 2006 (n = 9229), and 2010 (n = 10 926).
