Strategies

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

Restrict child-focused advertising for unhealthy foods and beverages via bans on unhealthy food and drink ads during children’s TV programs, product placement in children’s movies, etc.

Purchase the land a home is on to lease to homeowners with low and middle incomes and require homeowners to sell the home back to the trust or to another resident with low income upon moving

Assign higher costs to non-nutritious foods than nutritious foods via incentives, subsidies, or price discounts for healthy foods and beverages or disincentives or price increases for unhealthy choices

Support funds that help create or maintain affordable housing, subsidize rental housing, and assist homebuyers with low incomes and non-profit housing developers

Provide funding via tax credits at the state and local level to support development and rehabilitation costs of low income rental housing

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

Limit access to competitive foods and beverages in schools via restrictions on foods that are not provided through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Prohibit the sale of unhealthy foods such as sugar sweetened beverages, candy, and other non-nutritious snacks at school fundraisers, often as part of a broader nutrition policy

Provide objective, normative information to reduce college students’ misperceptions about alcohol use and, ultimately, change their drinking behavior
