Strategies

Limit increases in the number and concentration of alcohol outlets by area or by population through licensing or zoning regulations

Provide patients with prescriptions for exercise plans, often accompanied by progress checks at office visits, counseling, activity logs, and exercise testing

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

Provide messages that support physical activity to large and broad audiences using television, social media, radio, billboards, newspapers, and other print media

Expand or enhance school-based physical education (PE) by lengthening existing classes, increasing physical activity during class, adding new PE classes, etc.

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
