As part of Collaborate for Healthy Weight, in collaboration with HRSA and a coalition of partner organizations, NICHQ has created the Healthy Weight Collaborative (HWC) to identify model approaches linking clinical services, public health functions, and other community services to address childhood and family obesity. The HWC aims to prevent and treat childhood obesity by working with 50 community teams to identify, test, and evaluate a national HWC change package of evidence-based program and policy interventions. HRSA is seeking OMB clearance to gather information from the HWC community teams and NICHQ leaders, staff, and faculty in order to conduct an implementation study of Phase 2 of program implementation of the HWC project. The goal of the implementation study is to document the ongoing development and refinement of the HWC project's "change package," in Phase 2 of program implementation of the project, as well as the adaptation of the project's learning collaborative process in a virtual format with no in-person meetings. The study will also document the participation of the 40 Phase 2 community teams, their experiences, and their results.
