Understanding Healthy Kids Colorado Survey

School and District Reports

Background.

The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS) collects anonymous health information from middle and high school students throughout the state. HKCS is

conducted during odd-numbered years, most recently in the fall of 2015. More than 40,000 students in 252 middle and high schools participated in the

fall 2015 survey. The questionnaire measures a wide range of health behaviors and things that affect a student's health, including physical activity,

nutrition, health care, bullying, mental health, tobacco and substance use, sexual health (high school only), and family and school protective factors. HKCS

is supported by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Colorado Department of Education (CDE), and Colorado

Department of Human Services (CDHS). The survey is administered from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus by the Community,

Epidemiology & Program Evaluation Group (CEPEG).

Questionnaire, Parental Consent, and Survey Administration.

The majority of HKCS questions are drawn from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, the

nation's largest adolescent health survey, which has been ongoing for more than 20 years. Other questions in HKCS have been added with community

input to meet additional data needs in Colorado.

The questionnaire is available in English and Spanish and takes about 45 minutes, or one class period, to complete by paper and pencil. Teachers are

given a script to read to students that emphasizes the anonymous and voluntary nature of the survey. Parental consent procedures are followed

according to each district’s guidelines, with a minimum of two weeks notification in advance of the administration date.

There are two versions of the high school questionnaire, called “modules,” that have an identical “core” set of questions plus additional questions

unique to each version. This approach allows more information to be collected while limiting the survey length. Modules A and B contain 107 and 108

questions, respectively. The modules are randomly distributed, so roughly half the students in each classroom complete Module A and half complete

Module B.

The middle school questionnaire contains 68 questions that are age-appropriate for younger adolescents, and the shorter length allows students more

time to answer each question. Classrooms are ineligible to participate if the students are unable to complete the survey in English or Spanish or because

of disabilities. If a parent chooses not to allow their child to participate, or if the student declines to participate, they are asked to sit quietly at their desk

and work on other school work.

HKCS selects a sample of schools to represent the state of Colorado. Within selected schools, a sample of classrooms were selected to participate in

order to minimize the time commitment from schools. The HKCS was also available to other schools at no cost to participate as a new opportunity in

2013. Many schools chose to participate in order to receive local data to track important health behaviors and protective factors.

EXAMPLE: How to Read a Table.

A. Health behavior includes the Table Number and a description of the behavior being reported.

B. Estimate or Percentage: Percentage of students who reported a given behavior or answer. A period (.) appears whenever results meet the

suppression criteria and are not shown to protect student confidentiality.

C. Total Responses: The number of students in the school or district who answered the question being reported. Some students may have chosen

to skip some questions, for a variety of reasons.

D. 95% confidence interval: These numbers define the range that most likely contains the true percentage for your school or district. These

intervals are also called “margins of error” and indicate the precision of the estimate – a larger range indicates less precision, a smaller range

indicates more precision.

Key Definitions.

Weighting: The results in the current report are adjusted (“weighted”) so that the answers can represent all students in your school or district. The

process of weighting takes into account each participating student’s probability of selection and matches the participant group to the total enrollment

by grade, gender, and race/ethnicity.

Response Rates: Response rate is the total number of students who participated in the survey divided by the number of students randomly chosen to

take the survey within a school or district. Generally, the higher the response rate, the more confidence that the survey results reflect the student

population. Student response rates of 80% or higher are very desirable and increase confidence that the results are representative of the entire student

population.

Confidentiality: In order to protect confidentiality, student responses are not released if they might allow someone to identify individual students. A

period (.) appears whenever results meet certain “suppression” criteria used to maintain confidentiality. Our suppression criteria include results of 0%

or 100%; results where the numerator has 3 or fewer students (e.g., the number of students who answered ‘yes’), or the number in the denominator

is 30 or fewer (e.g., the number of students who answered the question).

Considerations When Using the Report.

The results of your school or districts can be compared to the state or regional estimates. When comparing a school or district estimate to a regional or

state estimate, examine the 95% confidence intervals. If they overlap, there is no scientific evidence to believe the estimates are different. If they do

not overlap, there is high confidence that the estimates are different (“statistically significant”). For statistically significant differences, judgment is

needed to decide whether the size of the difference is meaningful and important.

Technical Assistance.

The Healthy Kids Colorado Survey team can help you:

• Understand your report. We are happy to meet or talk with you about any aspect of your report including understanding the nuts and bolts to

identifying the most important indicators

• Conduct additional and customized analysis of your data. We are happy to talk with you about custom analysis. Please note that additional

analysis can sometimes be limited based on the sample size. As a general rule of thumb, if there are fewer than 100 respondents, there are a

limited number of categories that can be used to look at results. Several hundred respondents are typically necessary for estimates with smaller

subgroups. Therefore, custom analysis may be possible with district-level data but not always with school-level data.

• Prepare a presentation of the data. We can create a customized Power Point presentation according to your needs.

• Present or co-present your data. We are available to travel to your location or be available by webinar/teleconference.

Copies of the middle school survey and both modules of the high school survey can be viewed here.
