6. Healthy Kids Colorado Survey
The data originates from Buena Vista and Salida Highschools 2015 HKCS combined/ aggregated survey–
The data includes weight, nutrition, physical activity, suicide, bullying, mental health, tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, drugs, sexual health (high school only), school and community engagement, access to trusted adults, and many more topics. The data also reflect student attitudes and perceptions that address health behaviors and the influences that can support a student’s healthy choices.  To better utilize this data the school districts agreed to aggregate their 2015 HKCS results to support efforts made through the Communities That Care (CTC)  initiative which is a program under FYI in partnership with Chaffee County Public Health. CTC is funded by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).  Research shows that communities who successfully install CTC with fidelity
over multiple years educate Key leaders to adopt a science-based approach to prevention.  CTC has recently completed an assessment of youth health & behavior problems and the risk and protective factors that predict those problems.  Prioritized risk factors identified for Chaffee County are;  Availability of Substance, Early Initiation of Substance Abuse and Favorable Parental Attitudes. Protective factors include Opportunities for Prosocial Involvement and School Rewards for Prosocial Involvement. Youth feel their community is supportive and that their teachers, parents are there to encourage and support them in difficult time.
