Strategies

Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Provide basic skills (e.g., reading, math, writing, English language, or soft skills) and industry-specific training with other supports; also called occupationally contextualized basic education programs

Provide occupation-specific training for low-skilled individuals in high-growth industries, with education and supports, usually with stackable credentials and work experience opportunities

Involve consumers in health care governance via roles on governing boards, advisory committees, or shorter-term special projects

Coordinate efforts to reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents with work, vocational training, or sports

Inform adolescents, young adults, and parents about HPV and its consequences, as well as the benefits of vaccination, via videos, printed materials, online content, or in-person efforts

Clean, remove, replace, or cover lead contaminated soil with non-contaminated soil, mulch, sod, grass, or concrete

Replace lead plumbing material such as pipes, service lines, fittings, solder, flux, and fixtures with non-lead plumbing material

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates
