View Award Description

Colorado Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Initiative - The purpose of the Colorado Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Initiative is to leverage multi-sector partnerships and resources to implement and evaluate a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention using evidence-informed practices and programs outlined in CDC’s Suicide Prevention Technical Package. The Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention (OSP) defines a comprehensive model for suicide prevention as a data-driven public health approach that prioritizes promising programs, practices, and policies for populations and settings across all age groups to include individuals, families, communities, and systems. Building on the infrastructure established through the Colorado-National Collaborative (CNC), the OSP aims to decrease suicide risk factors and increase protective factors in six disparately impacted counties (El Paso, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Montezuma, and Pueblo) by focusing on vulnerable populations in those counties (e.g. veterans, older adults, LGBTQ, and others) to reduce Colorado’s suicide morbidity and mortality by 10% over the next five years. In 2016, as part of the Colorado-National Collaborative, OSP used Colorado Violence Death Reporting System (COVDRS) data to identify six Colorado counties with high numbers and/or rates of suicide, strong momentum and existing collaborative partnerships (El Paso, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Montezuma, and Pueblo counties). Over the last four years, OSP has collaborated with these six priority counties to draft a comprehensive core set of strategies that align with the CDC Suicide Prevention Technical Package for local communities to implement and evaluate in a coordinated way, if there was adequate funding. Funds from this cooperative agreement will allow OSP to build on those planning efforts and provide enough funding to each priority county to have a full-time suicide prevention coordinator to oversee the implementation and evaluation of community-based, health care-related, and upstream interventions to reduce suicide. By focusing and coordinating implementation strategies at the community level, this collaborative effort will improve connectedness, support economic stability, enhance postvention response, increase education and awareness, facilitate access to responsive care, and expand lethal means safety to achieve measurable reductions in suicide-related indicators as well as improve health outcomes. The Colorado Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Initiative will achieve the following long-term outcomes by September 2026: Decrease Colorado’s suicide fatalities (N=1,287, 21.6/ 100,000 in 2019) by at least 10% by focusing on strategies to support vulnerable populations in priority counties. Decrease Colorado’s suicide-related emergency department (N=8,325, 148.19/ 100,000 in 2019) and hospitalization (N=3,237, 56.45/ 100,000 in 2019) indicators by at least 10% by focusing on strategies to support vulnerable populations in priority counties.
