Washington University’s Center for Obesity Policy & Prevention Research new database is officially up and running.  With funding from the Missouri Foundation for Health, COPPR tapped Matchbox to design and build a database to help “explore and identify the existing policies on healthy eating and physical activity in Missouri.”

It’s a bit of a mouthful we know.  But what this really means is COPPR has made their internal Missouri health policy reviews available to the public.  Better yet it looks pretty cool thanks to the integration of Microsoft’s ASP.NET Charting components.   Ever wonder what kind or how many health policies exist in your community?  Why don’t you check out the COPPR Database now?

MDG recently launched The Center for Obesity Prevention & Policy Research website, COPPR for short. COPPR is a joint effort between Wash U’s George Warren Brown School of Social Work and the School of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis whose mission is to develop and spread the word about obesity research and policy. To compliment the site we’re developing a policy database to make all of COPPR’s hard work accessible, more on that later!
