New and Updated Strategies from What Works for Health
Our What Works for Health database has over 400 evidence-informed policies and programs to make a difference in your community. On June 18, 2021, our What Works for Health analysts updated the database and you can now find new studies, implementation examples, and resources for the seven strategies below:
-
Intergenerational mentoring and activities: establish a relationship between an older adult and a child, adolescent, or college student through social interactions or a variety of educational and art activities.
-
Mass media campaigns against alcohol-impaired driving: use mass media campaigns to persuade individuals to avoid drinking and driving or to prevent others from doing so; campaigns often focus on the negative consequences of alcohol-impaired driving.
-
Mass media campaigns against underage drinking: Use television, radio, print, and social media efforts to increase awareness of underage drinking and its consequences.
-
Minimum drinking age laws: maintain the current legal age when an individual can purchase alcoholic beverages; currently 21 years in all states.
-
Responsible beverage server training (RBS/RBST): educate owners, managers, servers, and sellers at alcohol establishments about strategies to avoid illegally selling alcohol to underage youth or intoxicated patrons.
-
Technology-enhanced classroom instruction: incorporate technology into classroom instruction via computer-assisted instruction programs, computer-managed learning programs, use of interactive white boards, and more.
-
Tobacco marketing restrictions: limit promotion, placement, flavoring, or pricing of tobacco products via regulation.
