Strategies

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

Support organized social, art, or physical activities for school-aged youth outside of the school time

Introduce a short-term family-based intervention therapy focused on strengths, protective factors, and risk factors for youth with delinquency, violence, or substance abuse problems, and their families

Coordinate efforts to reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents with work, vocational training, or sports

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates

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

Increase voter turnout through get-out-the-vote campaigns and initiatives to make voting more convenient such as allowing early in-person voting, vote-by-mail, or expanding polling locations and hours
