Strategies

Educate families about safe tap water temperatures during prenatal or well-baby visits at clinic or home visits; often with home safety checks or provision of home water temperature safety equipment

Use television, radio, print, and social media efforts to increase awareness of underage drinking and its consequences

Provide a fixed, multi-component set of fall prevention interventions to older adults, usually in community settings, without an individualized risk assessment

Use databases, housed in state agencies, to track prescribing and dispensing of Schedule II, III, IV, and V drugs and other controlled substances

Conduct individual assessments that gauge older adults’ risk of falling and develop personalized approaches to help prevent falls
