The Colorado Health Foundation funded the research process to search, analyze and organize the evidence-based practices that led to the creation of this website. The Colorado Health Foundation funds impactful work that helps Coloradans live their healthiest lives by advancing opportunities to pursue good health and achieve health equity. The Colorado Health Foundation supports work in and across four focus areas that are critical to improving health in Colorado:
Since 2016, the UNC Active Schools Institute (ASI) in the School of Sport and Exercise Science has been conducting interdisciplinary research and community-engaged scholarship in the area of school physical activity promotion. The UNC ASI personnel were major contributors in the process to search, analyze and organize the research that led to the identification of the evidence-based practices that make up this website.
The Prevention Research Center at Colorado State University (CSU) was established in 2014 as a campus-wide, trans-disciplinary center committed to studying the development, implementation and evaluation of effective and sustainable intervention programs that promote individual and family health and wellness throughout the lifespan. The center programs also aim to reduce risk for problems such as substance misuse, physical and mental health issues, violence and problems of aging.
The Colorado School of Public Health promotes the physical, mental, social and environmental health of people and communities in the Rocky Mountain Region and globally.
