Strategies

Use individual-, group-, and community-level interventions to provide education, support, and training that can affect social norms about HIV and other STIs

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)

Provide tailored health information and assistance with decision making, behavior change, and emotional support via digital interactive programs

Notify partners exposed to an STI of their risk, encourage testing, and refer to services; also called contact tracing, or partner counseling and referral services

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

Use broad media-based efforts to educate large groups of current and potential tobacco users about the dangers of tobacco use

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

Encourage participants to quit using tobacco by a set date or during a specific time period and give successful participants a chance to win financial rewards or other prizes; often called Quit & Win contests
