Healthy Kids Colorado Survey

The purpose of the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) is to better understand youth health and what factors support youth to make healthy choices.

HKCS is an optional participation survey given to 6-12 graders in Colorado.
HKCS is Colorado's most comprehensive survey on the health and well-being of young people.
The survey is voluntary, anonymous, and happens every two years in the fall.
The survey is administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Colorado School of Public Health (CSPH).
The HKCS has a rigorous policy to protect the confidentiality and anonymity of student data.
Students take the online survey during one class period.
