Strategies

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

Encourage use of designated drivers via population-based mass media campaigns, incentive programs based in drinking establishments, and other efforts

Provide confidential worksite-based counseling and referrals to employees to address personal and workplace challenges

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Use mass media campaigns to persuade individuals to avoid drinking and driving or to prevent others from doing so; campaigns often focus on the negative consequences of alcohol-impaired driving

Require employers in an affected jurisdiction to provide paid time off for employees to use when ill or injured

Provide industry-focused education and job training based on the needs of regional employers within specific sectors

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds
