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

Restrict alcohol consumption anywhere on a college or university campus or only in specific areas (e.g., residence halls)

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

Provide education and training sessions with parent-child activities and family meals for youth, parents, and care providers

Encourage use of designated drivers via population-based mass media campaigns, incentive programs based in drinking establishments, and other efforts

Provide employment-based services for non-custodial fathers who pay child support and experience a job loss or a decrease in income

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
