The Injury & Violence Prevention Center is contracted by the Violence and Injury Prevention - Mental Health Promotion Branch at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to conduct the statewide evaluation of Community Organizing for Prevention (COFP) from 2021-2026. COFP is a statewide initiative that implements primary prevention strategies to reduce substance misuse and violence among youth.  The objectives of the statewide evaluation are to understand how COFP is being implemented and how these risk factors, protective factors and long-term outcomes are changing in COFP-funded communities in Colorado. Our team strives to make our evaluation rigorous, relevant, and fair. We aim to provide actionable, meaningful, and accessible data and evaluation support to support communities in finding solutions to their local concerns.
