Research & Data

Colorado Adolescent Health Report - Now Available!
State of Adolescent Sexual Health in Colorado -

Every four hours a baby is born to a Colorado teen between 15 and 17      years old.[1]

30% of Colorado students engaging in sexual activity reported they did not use a condom the last time they had sexual intercourse.

COAPPP is dedicated to providing the most accurate, succinct, and up to date information possible on adolescent pregnancy, births, and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.  If you would like specific data or research on your youth population or county, please contact Shannon Sainer ssainer@coappp.org.  COAPPP uses data provided by the State of Colorado agencies including the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health.

*These statistics may differ slightly from Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s due to small differences in population estimates but all data was constructed using data from the Colorado Health Information Dataset (CoHID) and the Colorado State Demographer’s website.  These statistics will be updated when DCPHE releases 2003-2005 and 2006 data.
