HI Jennifer,
I do believe we have some resources that can be helpful in your initiative. It sounds like you are doing some very important and much needed work in prevention of obesity in children.While these free resources provide some guidelines, they may lack the specificity of managing timelines that you are looking for. Section 5 in our toolkit has some excellent information regarding obesity evaluation plans in general: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/evaluate/evaluation/evaluation-p.... This resource; https://ctb.ku.edu/en/nutrition-education discusses a school-based program targeting childhood obesity. Section 5, Analyzing Community Problems may be helpful in setting an overall timeline and even provides the example of childhood obesity as a community issue: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/table-of-contents/assessment/assessing-community-n...
I would also recommend that you take a look at some of the services offered through the toolkit: https://ctb.ku.edu/en/services as these could be tailored to your individuals needs on the project. Fees do apply and that information is available by following the links and directing the inquiry to the designated person. The community checkbox may be of particular interest in your endeavors: https://checkbox.ctb.ku.edu/
I hope this helps. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.
In Community,
