Strategies

Provide information and increase motivation to change or prevent problematic alcohol consumption in a short session; also called alcohol screening & brief intervention

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

Deliver tobacco cessation advice and motivational messages via text or video message

Encourage use of designated drivers via population-based mass media campaigns, incentive programs based in drinking establishments, and other efforts

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

Provide outreach and support to assist those whose employers do not offer affordable coverage, who are self-employed, or who are unemployed

Use websites, computer programs, and other electronic means to provide information, strategies, or behavioral support to tobacco users who want to quit, sometimes with counseling or pharmacotherapy

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

Distribute Naloxone to trained community members and first responders to reverse opioid overdoses

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.
