Objectives

1. 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 by conducting two virtual sprint Learning Communities  (monthly meetings with off week office hours)

2. Balance adaptation and fidelity with community systems, implementation science, clinical evidence and the local environment.

3. Lead HOP sites through a learning curriculum
