Colorado State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup
The Colorado State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) is a network of state agencies and data experts brought together to examine the patterns, context, and impact of substance use.
New publication: 2024 Regional Profiles
The purpose of the regional profiles is to provide an overview of localized data by Health Statistics Regions (HSR) to community members and individuals working around substance misuse prevention and treatment. These profiles are intended as a resource for understanding substance use trends that can be used to inform local initiatives, programs, policies, and other activities.
