Strategies

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

Use television, radio, print, and social media efforts to increase awareness of underage drinking and its consequences

Provide continuous, comprehensive, whole person primary care that uses a coordinated team of medical providers across the health care system

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

Provide sterile injection equipment and often other treatment and referral services to people who inject drugs; also called needle or syringe exchange programs and needle syringe programs

Create financial incentives or remove financial disincentives to affect consumer choices and incentivize provision of cost efficient health care services
