We apologize for cross-posting) [Description: cid:image002.png at 01CD9B20.0E807210] The Oregon Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (Oregon Tracking) is pleased to announce the release of our latest report, "DMV records are valuable for obesity surveillance in Oregon". This report presents findings from the largest validation study conducted on DMV records and demonstrates applications for the data. The outcomes of obesity have been widely studied and publicized; obesity greatly increases the risk for many diseases and lowers life expectancy. More than one-third of U.S. adults and 17% of children are now obese, and public health needs reliable local data to guide prevention efforts. Oregon is the first state to enhance obesity surveillance with data from driver licenses and ID cards. Using height and weight data from DMV records, Oregon Tracking calculated community-level estimates of the population's weight status for the entire state. Your response: 1. But I lied about my height and weight on my driver's license! 2. The weight on my driver's license hasn't been updated in years. 3. That's amazing. Our answer: 1. You and everyone else! Compared to survey data, we found reported weights from DMV records about 5% lower for women and 2% lower for men. But when everyone fudges a little bit, the bias is consistent. Therefore, DMV records are still useful for tracking trends and disparities. 2. We found DMV records are sensitive to changes in the population's weight over time. Though some people may not update their information when renewing a license, estimates from DMV records track well with those from annual telephone surveys. 3. Correct! In the near future these data will be available to query on our public data portal. Use these data for: * Community needs assessments * Targeting obesity prevention and control efforts * Evaluating interventions Please email, Tara Chetock (tara.a.chetock at state.or.us) to be added to the Oregon Tracking list serv.

In the most effective health promotion programs, evaluation runs parallel to the other phases, starting at the very beginning of the process when a program is being planned and continuing in tandem as the program is implemented and sustained providing continual feedback to program staff, stakeholders, and participants. This symposium will cover how to assess whether a health promotion program (or related program or service) is achieving the desired results by systematically collecting information in order to answer evaluation questions and guide program decisions.
