The Colorado Health Information Dataset (CoHID) is a combined effort of local and state public health agencies. Its purpose is to provide health, demography, and environmental data for review and analysis. Using internet-based technologies, users may query and summarize from a variety of datasets. CoHID resides within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and has been supported by Preventive Health Block Grant and Health Alert Network/Training funds. CoHID's governing board includes representatives from both local and state health agencies. To contact the board with suggestions or comments, you may send an email to the following address: cohid@state.co.us
