Strategies

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

Distribute Naloxone to trained community members and first responders to reverse opioid overdoses

Use visual tools to prompt safe practices, standardize communication, and ensure no step is forgotten before, during, or after a medical procedure or other health care situation

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

Allow adults to possess a limited amount of marijuana for personal, non-medical use

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

Increase enforcement of laws that prohibit alcoholic beverage service to intoxicated customers, usually with fines, imprisonment, or revocation of a license

Support programs to provide students with a nutritious breakfast in the cafeteria, from grab and go carts in hallways, or in classrooms

Provide health care services on school premises to attending elementary, middle, and high school students; physical and mental health services provided by teams of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians

Implement focused efforts to help children recognize and manage emotions, set and reach goals, appreciate others’ perspectives, and maintain relationships; also called social and emotional learning (SEL)
