Following the tragic shootings in Newtown (Connecticut), Aurora (Colorado), Isla Vista (California) and others, increased national attention has focused on the relationship between mental illness and gun violence. While some have called for enhanced regulation of firearm possession by persons with mental illness, others have argued that such actions would be ineffective and enhance stigma associated with mental illness while discouraging treatment seeking.

Abstract:
Sexual violence is a pervasive public health issue that has a direct and disproportionate impact on U.S. adolescents. Sexual violence victimization (SVV) is strongly associated with adolescent depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicidality, and sexual violence perpetration (SVP) with substance abuse and other health risk behaviors. Gender and sexual-orientation–diverse youth may be at greater risk of sexual violence and the associated mental health consequences. We used data from the 2021 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, a school-based survey administered to a population sample of hi

Age Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) promote geriatric best practices to improve healthcare quality, minimize harms and support older adults’ care preferences. AFHS-designated clinics consistently address the Geriatric 4Ms: Mentation, Mobility, Medication, and What Matters Most. The VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System tele-Palliative Care clinic achieved AFHS Level 1 and 2 recognition in 2021, becoming the first AFHS-designated telemedicine clinic in the nation. An interprofessional team and older Veterans guided planning and implementation. Using existing staff and clinic workflows, we consi

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between physical intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and four related aspects of emotional well-being: threat sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, impulse control, and access to resources for emotional regulation. We draw on a transactional model of IPV and emotional regulation to theorize how invalidation and partner threats in relationships can generate harmful emotional outcomes. We used representative data collected for residents living in five U.S. states: Colorado, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Texas. Our an

Abstract Background Firearm violence is a major public health problem and the leading cause of death among children and youth aged one to nineteen in the United States (US). School shootings, though a relatively rare form of firearm violence in the US, have been occurring with increasing frequency, exposing more than 380,000 students to such events since 1999. This study engaged school shooting survivors to identify key research areas regarding their mental health, aiming to enhance the relevance and impact of future research for this community.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic in the US prompted a sudden shift to telehealth in nurse-led care sites which provide services to diverse geolocations. Using a lens of intersectionality, this study characterizes provider and patient-perceived best and promising practices emerging from geographical variation. The aim of this study was to identify best practices of implementing telehealth in nurse-led care models in Colorado through patient and provider experiences of the sudden implementation of telehealth that can enhance health equity.

Abstract:
Policy Points Earmarked tax policies for behavioral health are perceived as having positive impacts related to increasing flexible funding, suggesting benefits to expand this financing approach. Implementation challenges related to these earmarked taxes included tax base volatility that impedes long‐term service delivery planning and inequities in the distribution of tax revenue. Recommendations for designing or revising earmarked tax policies include developing clear guidelines and support systems to manage the administrative aspects of earmarked tax programs, cocreating reporting and oversig

The New York State legislature is currently considering a bill that would permit Medical Aid in Dying for terminally ill patients in certain defined circumstances. Those states now benefit from decades of experience, evidence, and reporting from MAiD jurisdictions. This demonstrates that legislation can simultaneously grant terminally ill citizens the
