Strategies

Notify partners exposed to an STI of their risk, encourage testing, and refer to services; also called contact tracing, or partner counseling and referral services

Provide rapid access to permanent housing and support (e.g., crisis intervention, needs assessment, case management), usually for chronically homeless individuals with persistent mental illness or substance abuse issues

Support a four-tiered approach to indoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Eliminate lead-based paint and contaminated dust by removing or encapsulating lead paint, or removing lead painted fixtures and surfaces

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Provide reminders, education, or self-management assistance for health conditions, especially chronic diseases, via text message

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
