Mental Health in Adults - Colorado BRFSS 2014-2017 (County)

This layer represents the Percent of Adults with Frequent Mental Distress calculated from the 2014-2017 Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (County or Regional Estimates) data set. These data represent the estimated prevalence of Frequent Mental Distress among adults (Age 18+) for each county in Colorado. Frequent Mental Distress is defined as experiencing more than 14 mentally unhealthy days within the past 30 days in which mental health was "not good." Health conditions for measuring mental health include stress, depression, and problems with emotions. Regional estimates were used if there was not enough sample size to calculate a single county estimate. The estimate for each county was derived from multiple years of Colorado Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data (2014-2017).
