About Local Health Data


Ozioma was developed by the Health Communication Research Laboratory (HCRL) with funding from the National Cancer Institute.  The HCRL is an academic research center at Washington University in St. Louis.  We develop and test health communication programs to increase the reach and effectiveness of health information with the mission of eliminating health disparities. Our work has helped advance the science of health communication and led to the development of programs, products, and services now in use in real-world, non-research settings.

Our multidisciplinary development team includes representation from health communication, behavioral science, computer science, graphic design, journalism, and media communications.
