Restrict alcohol availability and use at sporting events, other public events (e.g., concerts and street fairs) and in public spaces such as parks and beaches

Provide supports such as mentoring, counseling, or vocational training, or change the school environment to help students complete high school

Use visual tools to prompt safe practices, standardize communication, and ensure no step is forgotten before, during, or after a medical procedure or other health care situation

Increase the price of alcohol via taxes levied for beer, wine, and liquor purchases

Provide all individuals with regular cash transfers, without conditions, over their lifetimes
