Strategies

Use individual-, group-, and community-level interventions to provide education, support, and training that can affect social norms about HIV and other STIs

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 tailored health information and assistance with decision making, behavior change, and emotional support via digital interactive programs

Offer loan repayment, tuition assistance, competitive academic salaries, etc. to students who teach in nursing programs after completing an advanced degree

Notify partners exposed to an STI of their risk, encourage testing, and refer to services; also called contact tracing, or partner counseling and referral services

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

Pair new nurses with more experienced nurses who act as a resource and provide support as the new nurse establishes her or himself professionally

Implement programs that continue education, mentoring, and support for novice nurses following graduation

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