This Google Fusion Table contains locations where person(s) can drop off unused household medication. This dataset was updated in March of 2017. The Colorado Household Medication Take-Back Program is now expanding with a goal of establishing at least one permanent collection location in every Colorado county. All locations can accept prescribed controlled substances (e.g. Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, Ritalin and Adderall) along with other prescribed and over-the-counter medications.

The success of the program depends on its proper use.

Medications may be deposited in their original containers, but you can help conserve space in collection bins by pouring pills/capsules into a zip-top bag and then trashing or recycling containers separately. Strike out personal information on pill containers before depositing in collection bins or trashing/recycling them.

Do not deposit excessive packaging, like cardboard boxes, in the collection bins.

This census tract geography dataset contains eight selected 2011-2015 health outcome rates calculated at the census tract geography for all of the census tracts in Colorado: (Asthma Hospitalizations, Diabetes Hospitalizations, Heart Disease Mortality, Influenza Hospitalizations, Low Weight Birth, Motor Vehicle Accident Mortality, Suicide Mortality, and Teen Fertility). The rates contained in this dataset represent 2011-2015 5-Year Averages and include the 95% confidence interval for each census tract rate as well as the Colorado state average. Published rates that have large confidence intervals should be interpreted with caution. This dataset is assembled and maintained annually by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

This county geography dataset includes selected indicators (2011-2015 5-Year Averages) pertaining to population, age, race/ethnicity, language, housing, poverty/income, education, disability, health insurance, employment, and age*race*gender groups. This dataset is assembled annually from the U.S. Census American Community Survey American Factfinder website and is maintained by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has developed community-level estimates for adults in a set of 14 important health condition and risk behavior indicators. The dataset includes indicators on adult asthma prevalence, cigarette smoking prevalence, coronary heart disease prevalence, percent of adults who delayed medical care due to cost, diabetes prevalence, binge drinking and heavy alcohol consumption, percent of adults with fair or poor health status, mental distress, percent of adults with no routine medical checkup in the past 12 month, obesity and overweight prevalence, percent of adults that did not report doing physical activity or exercise, and percent of adults with frequent physical distress. These four-year estimates (2013-2016) have been produced for each census tract in the State of Colorado based on modeled survey data collected in the Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and incorporating population, race, gender, and age estimates for each census tract from the American Community Survey. CDPHE's Community Level Estimates are output from statistical models used to generate health condition and risk behavior estimates for smaller geographies than traditional surveillance systems report. The estimates are produced using a multilevel model that incorporates individual Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey responses in addition to socio-demographic and contextual information about each census tract from the U.S. Census (American Community Survey). The individual survey responses related to a health condition or risk behavior from the Colorado BRFSS are nested within geographic boundaries (counties) where both individual characteristics (demographic) as well as sociodemographic characteristics can be used to model the probability of having a health condition or risk behavior at the census tract geography.

The mission of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is to protect and preserve the health and environment of the people of Colorado. Dr. Chris Urbina serves as executive director and chief medical officer of the department.

Point geometry feature class representing known Colorado Drug Treatment Program Resource locations (Methadone Clinics and Narcotic Addiction Treatment Programs), developed directly from address information obtained directly from the Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in 2017. Coordinate locations (latitude/longitude) were derived from the known street addresses of health facilities using a combination of Centrus MapMarker geocoding software and Google Earth imagery locations. This file was developed for use in activities and exercises within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
