AAP – NACHC HOP Learning Community Fact Sheet
High Obesity Program (HOP) v3 9-5-22
INTERNAL DOCUMENT NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION
BACKGROUND CONTEXT:
The HOP funds land grant universities to leverage community extension services to implement evidence-based strategies that increase access to healthier foods and safe, accessible places for physical activity in counties with an adult obesity rate of over 40%. Under the HOP NOFO, recipients must propose work in both the nutrition and physical activity strategies . This implementation guide assists in that effort by providing potential activities and resources to support the strategies. If a county is already working on the strategies, the recipient can propose activities in their work plan that build upon the existing work.

Themes from HOP applications:
· Partnerships
· Evidence based programs
· Metrics
· Clinical linkages
· County level data
· Family engagement
· Asset mapping
· Leveraging other programs
o DPP
o Food Insecurity
o Headstart
APPROACH:
PREWORK:
Create a mini 5 question survey: https://nachc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6qV8wpY7nIXfELY
Conduct 15 minute interviews post receipt of mini survey
Guiding Principles and Logistics
· Virtual convening (NACHC to host)
· Shared online repository (NACHC to host)
· Co Design strategy with HOP grantees
· Practical / concrete vs academicConsider hosting a kick-off call after summarizing the interviews
· Faculty to be from AAP, CDC, and NACHC cadre of experts
· Monthly 60 minute structure of calls
o 5 minutes meaningful work
o 15 minutes didactic
o 25 minutes peer to peer learning
o 10 minutes actionable next steps
o 5 minutes evaluation
· Off weeks one to one coaching or open office hours
Target Audience
o 10 HOP Grantees
3. LEARNING COMMUNITY MODEL
Goal: Design and implement a learning community for HOP grantees to prepare for the next funding cycle to advance evidence based pediatric obesity interventions.
Conduct two virtual sprint Learning Communiti1. es (
monthly meetings with off week office hours) to help HOP sites understand their community and its child obesity-related needs and assets in relation to selecting and potentially implementing an evidence-based FHWP in their site.
October – December Exploration, laying the foundation (goal: understand the different EB FHWP, build internal and external awareness around assets, challenges, and priorities)
January – February office hours
March – May Preparation (Plan for integration of a program if your work in the exploratory phase confirms it is a good fit)
Balance adaptation and fidelity with community systems, implementation science, clinical evidence and the local environment.
Curriculum could include:
Session
Moderator
Faculty
Resources [1]
EXPLORATORY SPRINT: October - December
HOP Partnerships: asset mapping
Define clear aim
Define community
Define what a healthy family weight program
Define local partners (WIC, faith-based organizations, girls/boys club, YMCA etc.)
Define clinical linkages
Explore Power and Equity dynamics in your community
Motivational Interviewing and/or Journey Mapping (engaging the community in co-design)
HOP Community Systems: leadership, strategic plans, internal policies, MOUs, contracting, data governance/ DUAs and procedures etc.)
HOP data collection for qualitative and quantitative for actionable data to inform decision making and measure change
Preparation Sprint: March – May
Steeped in QI approaches, evidence, implementation science and change theory
Health Equity (application of social and clinical risk, SDOH) culturally responsible care, family centric interventions
Community-Clinic linkages (team approach)
Co-design Activities: interviews, trust or journey mapping
Establishment of new partnerships or enhanced strategies with existing partners
Products:
· 2 virtual sprints. 3 months each
· Open office hours between sprints
· Documented activities throughout (asset mapping, interview results, etc..)
· Final Harvest ideas through Posters
Resources:
[1] Concrete practical tools from AAP and NACHC toolkits tailored to HOP.
[2] Evidenced based pediatric weight management (pull from AAP, CDC and NACHC models)
