Colorado Child Fatality Prevention System: Data and Reports

Data Dashboard
The CFPS Data Dashboard is a valuable data resource that partners across Colorado can access to learn more about data from the Child Fatality Prevention System, Colorado's public health child death review and prevention process. The data in this dashboard represents aggregated data collected through individual reviews of the deaths of infants, children, and youth under 18 who die in Colorado. The dashboard provides counts, rate, and circumstance data on the leading causes and circumstances of death across Colorado: child and youth suicide, child maltreatment deaths, sudden unexpected infant deaths, motor vehicle and other transportation deaths, firearm deaths, homicide deaths, unintentional drowning deaths, and unintentional poisoning or overdose deaths.

The CFPS Data Dashboard is one way to report aggregated data compiled and prepared following the end of each annual review cycle and is updated on or before July 1st each year. Data from 2020 were added to the dashboard in April 2022. The dashboard links to the CFPS 2016-2020 Data Briefs (see below), where readers can learn more about the impact of policies and systems on child deaths and disparities in the data.
