Strategies

Prohibit criminal history questions on job applications and postpone background checks

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Support home visits that teach parents about early childhood development and effective parenting strategies, with child development screenings, parental meetings, and links to community resources

Provide industry-focused education and job training based on the needs of regional employers within specific sectors

Provide objective, normative information to reduce college students’ misperceptions about alcohol use and, ultimately, change their drinking behavior

Provide all students with the information and skills to prevent alcohol use; programs can be delivered via a specific curriculum or as a component of classroom behavior management
