Obesity in Oregon: Findings from driver’s license records

Obesity is one of public health’s top priorities. A growing body of evidence links community design and environmental factors with obesity. To support obesity studies and inform prevention efforts, Oregon Environmental Public Health Tracking (EPHT) is publishing weight status data calculated from driver’s license and identification cards issued by Driver and Motor Vehicles Services (DMV). With over 3.5 million records containing address information, this rich data source can provide precise weight estimates for areas as small as census block groups.

Please join Oregon EPHT on May 9th as we examine DMV records as a resource for tracking the weight of the population and present maps that will soon be accessible on the EPHT Data Portal<https://epht.oregon.gov/Index.aspx>.
