The
Behavioral Health Indicators Map
is now available to the public. The map presents county and state-specific summarized data for seven behavioral health indicators prioritized by the Kansas Governor's Behavioral Health Services Planning Council Prevention Subcommittee:
- Suicide Rate
- Opioid Prescribing Rate
- 30-Day Student Alcohol Use
- Past-Year Student Depression
- Student Perception of Risk of Marijuana Use
- Student Favorable Attitudes of Marijuana Use
- Knowledge of Treatment Options for Problem Gambling
The data presented in the Behavioral Health Indicators Map was prepared and provided by
Greenbush. This map will help Kansans identify geographical areas of strengths and needs related to the indicators. It also provides the information necessary to build awareness and capacity, and will make it easier to collaborate with other partners to create more comprehensive plans for prevention and behavioral health services across the state.
If you have questions about the map or are experiencing technical issues, please contact
the KPC Team.
