Strategies

Provide educational and social services in an alternative setting for students at risk of dropping out of traditional high schools

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

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Provide career and technical education (CTE) as an integrated part of an academic curriculum for students, especially those at risk of dropping out of high school; also called vocational training

Combine information about HPV and the benefits of vaccination with efforts to support vaccine series completion (e.g., patient and parent education or reminders, physician education, etc.) in clinic-based settings

Implement a policing philosophy based on community partnership, organizational transformation, and problem solving techniques to proactively address public safety issues: also called community-oriented policing

Support HPV vaccination through multi-component community interventions, including education, outreach, navigation support, and vaccine provision

Detect and intervene in potentially violent situations, educate and mobilize communities, and connect high-risk individuals to services; formerly called Chicago CeaseFire

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

Provide prescriptions or medications to patients diagnosed with treatable STIs to give to their partners without provider visits; also called patient-delivered partner therapy (PDPT)
