Strategies

Adjust and monitor fluoride levels in public water supplies to reach and retain optimal fluoride concentrations

Provide a fixed, multi-component set of fall prevention interventions to older adults, usually in community settings, without an individualized risk assessment

Regulate short-term loans that must be repaid by a borrower’s next pay day via bans, caps on maximum interest rates and loan amounts, or require minimum loan terms and credit cost

Conduct individual assessments that gauge older adults’ risk of falling and develop personalized approaches to help prevent falls

Provide sealants, fluoride treatment, screening, and other preventive dental care on school grounds via partnerships with dental professionals
