CDPHE

Created by HB21- 1299, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention is a new office in CDPHE that will coordinate and promote effective strategies to reduce gun violence in our state. CDPHE is establishing the office now and will update information as soon as it becomes available... CDPHE provides education, public awareness, and prevention messages for retail marijuana in order to ensure all Colorado residents and visitors understand the parameters of safe, legal, and responsible use. To reach this goal the Retail Marijuana Education Program (RMEP) has focused on statewide public education campaigns and community-based education programs... CDPHE receives funding from CDC and the Bureau of Justice Assistance, to address drug overdose. We work closely with other federal, state, and local partners to conduct public health surveillance of the drug overdose epidemic and support prevention in opioid misuse and overdose by using existing data to inform evidence-based public health approaches.
