BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat that is

calculated from height and weight. Definitions of overweight and
obese depend on gender and age of the student. The percentage
of overweight and obese youth has been increasing nationwide
and causes immediate and long-term effects on health and
well-being.

Nutrition
Fruit and vegetable consumption add micronutrients and fiber
to the diet while contributing relatively minimal calories.
Students with low nutrient intake are more likely to be absent,
experience behavioral issues and receive lower grades (2).
Research has shown that breakfast consumption reduces
absenteeism and improves academic performance (2). Regular
soda consumption is not recommended since it adds calories
without any nutritional value. The CDC recommends all schools
to have nutrition education as a part of a comprehensive health
education curriculum.

% of Students

Physical activity includes time spent in any kind of activity that

increases heart rate and causes heavy breathing some of the time.
Studies have shown that physical activity is positively associated
with improved test scores and grades (1). Screen time includes
time spent watching TV, playing video games, or time on the
computer for non-school related use. The CDC recommends at
least 60 minutes of physical activity daily and no more than 2 hours
of screen time per day.

Schools are recommended to review their tobacco policies and
update policies to include electronic device use (i.e. e-cigarettes).

Mental Health

Sexual Health

Suicide is a leading cause of death in U.S. teens. Feeling

sad or hopeless almost every day for 2 or more weeks in a
row is a measure that is sometimes used as an indicator of
potential depression. Research has shown that students
with emotional health challenges (anxiety, depression, and
conduct disorders) were more likely to drop out of high
school (5).

Methods of pregnancy prevention include birth control

pills, condoms, IUD, birth control shot or ring, or
withdrawal. Not all of these methods prevent sexually
transmitted infections (STI) or HIV. The CDC recommends
schools to have sexual education as part of a
comprehensive health education curriculum.

Your school's data is available to your school and district and will not be further released without
your permission. For additional data requests, please contact us. Additional regional and state
data including school engagement, commitment and connection is available at
www.hkcs2013.org. The next HKCS administration will be Fall 2015. If you would like to
participate for free, please contact us!

What is HKCS?

Who was surveyed?

The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) periodically

collects self-reported health information from Colorado
public school students. A unified version was launched in
2013 that consolidates multiple needs for youth health
data and allows for both state and regional-level
estimates. The unified HKCS was administered in Fall
2013 to approximately 40,000 randomly-selected
students from approximately 220 middle and high
schools. HKCS is supported by Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Colorado
Department of Education (CDE), and Colorado
Department of Human Services (CDHS). The University
of Colorado Denver is the official vendor for HKCS.

Classrooms were randomly sampled from your school

and students in those classes were asked to complete
the survey. Data were weighted to represent all students
in the grades surveyed. Under- or over- representation of
some demographic groups may affect interpretation of
total results presented in this Snapshot.

How to use your data

- Grant writing to obtain funding
- Address issues impacting youth in your school with
evidence-based health policies and practices
- Create school and community programs to improve
youth behaviors

- Encourage health, safety, and academic achievement

- Use as part of the school's improvement planning
process
