Strategies

Provide center-based programs that support cognitive and social development among young children from families with low incomes, with supports such as home visiting or parental education

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Educate youth and college athletes, coaches, and parents about the severity of concussions in sports, proper prevention, detection, reporting, and treatment

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones

Restrict full contact between youth football players via limits to the number of contact practices, head hits per player, delay tackling until a certain age, etc.

Provide youth with leadership building opportunities, often through social activities such as advocacy groups, peer education, youth-led participatory research, and local government youth advisory councils and boards
