This figure captures both the project intervention and the study timeline. In January of 2010, health care organizations, also known as project partners, were recruited to participate in a collaborative effort to implement evidence-based clinical obesity guidelines into practice. Group meeting and training opportunities were held over a 12 month period, followed by on-site quarterly meetings with the public health nurse project facilitator. The key informant interviews began about 18 months into the intervention and were completed approximately 6 months later.
