Strategies

Offer group educational, social, creative, musical, or physical activities that promote social interactions, regular attendance, and community involvement among older adults

Support interventions that provide chronically absent students with resources to improve self-esteem, social skills, etc. and address familial and school-related factors that can contribute to poor attendance

Provide preschool education and comprehensive support to families with low incomes, including small classes, student meals, and home visits with referrals for social service support as needed

Provide educational and behavioral interventions that support patients’ ability to actively manage their condition(s) in everyday life

Support organized social, art, or physical activities for school-aged youth outside of the school time

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

Focus heavily on reading and math achievement, enforce high behavioral expectations through a formal discipline system, lengthen instructional time, and increase feedback on teacher performance

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

Provide center-based programs that support cognitive and social development among young children from families with low incomes, with supports such as home visiting or parental education

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