Strategies

Restrict alcohol availability and use at sporting events, other public events (e.g., concerts and street fairs) and in public spaces such as parks and beaches

Limit the days alcohol can be sold in on-premise settings such as bars and restaurants or in off-premise outlets such as liquor and convenience stores; sometimes with limits to times of sale

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

Support multi-component educational interventions for college students that address nutrition, physical activity, and healthy weight management; often with environmental modifications

Involve consumers in health care governance via roles on governing boards, advisory committees, or shorter-term special projects

Offer payments, credits toward health insurance premiums, or other financial rewards to encourage employees to lose weight, eat more healthily, quit smoking, engage in physical activity, etc.

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

Provide messages that support physical activity to large and broad audiences using television, social media, radio, billboards, newspapers, and other print media

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly
