Strategies

Restrict youth under a certain age from being in public places during certain hours, usually at night

Make health care facilities’ health care-associated or hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates readily available to patients and providers

Repeal government control over retail sales of alcoholic beverages, allowing commercial retailing of those beverages

Organize tours of prison facilities for juvenile delinquents or youth at risk of delinquency and allow them to observe prison life and attend inmates’ presentations; also called juvenile awareness programs

Adopt laws that hold private property owners who provide alcohol to minors or obviously intoxicated individuals on their property liable if someone is killed or injured as a result

Establish state level regulations that require nursing homes to employ at least a set number of licensed and non-licensed nursing staff, often set in terms of staff hours per resident day
