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>.
