What is a CoIIN?
CoIIN is described as a team of self-motivated people with a collective vision who share ideas, information, and work. CoIINs are known to achieve results quickly in response to complex health problems.
ASPHN has supported the Pediatric Obesity mini Collaborative Improvement and Innovative Networks (CoIIN) for the past 3 years. The focus of the mini CoIIN is to help states embed policies and practices that support healthy weight behaviors in early care and education systems.
In 2015, ASPHN and several partners launched the mini CoIIN with 4 State Teams. In 2016 the mini CoIIN was expanded to include 7 State Teams and soon there will be 10 State Teams. Watch the ASPHN home page for application instructions in mid-December 2016. Contact
Sandy Perkins for more information.
