Strategies

Restrict the content and placement of alcohol advertisements on broadcasts, outdoor displays, internet marketing, etc. via state laws, local ordinances, industry self-regulation, or a combination of efforts

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 outreach and support to assist those whose employers do not offer affordable coverage, who are self-employed, or who are unemployed

Increase patients’ health-related knowledge via efforts to simplify health education materials, improve patient-provider communication, and increase overall literacy

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

Use television, radio, print, and social media efforts to increase awareness of underage drinking and its consequences

Regulate mental health insurance to increase access to mental health services, including treatment for substance use disorders

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

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

Use databases, housed in state agencies, to track prescribing and dispensing of Schedule II, III, IV, and V drugs and other controlled substances
