Figure 2.

Scatter graph This figure shows the percentage of obese children from 2010 to 2019. The rates (shown by open circles) are 20% for 2011, 18% for 2012, 22% for 2013, and 20% for 2014. A word box shows that a grant was given to establish a prevention coalition in 2014, at which time the prevention initiative started. This is indicated by a vertical line. The cumulative community changes brought about by the initiative are shown by closed circles. The number of cumulative community changes each year from 2015 to 2018 are 50 for 2015, 100 for 2016; 130 for 2017; and 150 for 2018. The percentage of obese children continues to be shown after the start of the initiative in 2014 as open circles. The lower annual rates are 15% for 2015, 13% for 2016, 16% for 2017, and 13% for 2018. A word box shows that a partnership was implemented in 2016.

Hypothetical relationship between community changes (ie, every new or modified program, policy, or practice) facilitated by a partnership to prevent childhood obesity and associated improvement in a population-level outcome (ie, percentage of children who are obese or overweight). The vertical line indicates the start of the collaborative partnership to prevent childhood obesity.
