Strategies

Replace or retrofit diesel buses or other vehicles to operate with clean diesel technology

Combine academic, mental and physical health, and social service resources in schools for students and families via partnerships with community organizations; also called community learning centers

Encourage methods of soil cultivation that keep at least one-third of cultivated soil covered with the previous year’s crop residue (e.g., mulch till, ridge till, strip till, or no-till)

Replace internal combustion engine vehicles with all-electric vehicles through financial incentives, regulations, and multi-component initiatives

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

Support a four-tiered approach to outdoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

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

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Teach positively stated behavior expectations to all students, often reinforced with prizes or privileges and supported with coaching and data

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