Colorado Child Health Survey

The Colorado Child Health Survey was initiated in 2004 through a partnership between the Health Statistics Section and several other programs and organizations. This survey was designed to fill the health data gap in Colorado that exists for children ages 1-14.

To reach parents of young children, a random digit dialing telephone survey method is used. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) currently employs this method for Colorado adults and once a respondent has completed the BRFSS, the interviewer inquires if they have a child in the target age range and about their willingness to complete the child health survey. Approximately 10 days later, the parent is called to complete the survey on a variety of topics including their child's physical activity, nutrition, access to health and dental care, behavioral health, school health, sun safety, injury and many others. Data are collected over the calendar year. At the end of the year, data are cleaned and weighted to reflect the general population of children 1-14 years old. Approximately 1000 surveys are completed each year.
