Statewide Child Mental Health

The Colorado School of Public Health, Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the University of Colorado’s Farley Health Policy Center are collaborating to conduct an HIA on a proposed grant program using tobacco tax funds. One of the grants would target behavioral health interventions and services among Coloradans from birth through age 25. The HIA will assess a suggested three-tiered system of prevention and screening, early intervention, and individualized services and make recommendations for grant program spending to maximize child behavioral health through systems-level change.
