New website pulls data from federal, state and private data resources to better inform decision-making
The Colorado School of Public Health recently launched a new website that provides detailed, county-level data tied to the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The Colorado Population Data Dashboard is designed to help local public health agencies (LPHAs), county commissioners, community leaders, and the general public make more informed short- and long-term decisions about protecting public health.
The website provides health and economic data for each Colorado county. The data categories include:
COVID-19 surveillance indicators, including past 7-day positivity, case, test, hospitalization, and death rates
Demographics, including age, ethnicity, and race
Placental Function Can Predict Future Diseases In Children by Pooja Shete on January 25, 2021 at 9:22 PM
The research conducted at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is published in the journal
Diabetes.
Senior author of the study Thomas Jansson, MD, PhD, professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine said, We ve known for some time that many major diseases in adults like diabetes and cardiovascular disease are at least partly caused by problems during fetal life. For example, it has been shown that 50% of all type-2 diabetes in young adults are caused by exposure to the intrauterine environment in pregnant women with obesity and/or gestational diabetes.

AURORA, Colo. (Jan. 22, 2021) - Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered a direct association between placental function in pregnant women and future metabolic disorders in children and adults, a finding that could lead to earlier intervention and diagnosis of disease.

A new Colorado gun law has been divisive from the start. Now, a group of researchers is analyzing how it has been used in its first year.
In requests for extreme risk protection orders filed last year, petitioners described individuals who have threatened suicide, intimate partner violence, and shootings at schools and workplaces, according to preliminary data analysis by researchers at the University of Colorado. Colorado’s Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) law, which took effect in January of last year, enables petitioners to ask for orders to prohibit individuals who appear to pose a significant risk to themselves or others from possessing guns.
