The Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Survey (COFIPS) is an anonymous, online questionnaire that provides comprehensive, Colorado-specific data and insight into the impact and prevention of firearm-involved harms in our state.
The COFIPS data tell a story of Coloradans’ diverse relationships and experiences with firearms, which can help guide efforts to prevent firearm-involved injuries and deaths in our homes and communities.
The Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Survey (COFIPS) is conducted by the Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative (FIPI) in the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Injury & Violence Prevention Center (IVPC) in the Colorado School of Public Health, with funding from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP).
