Strategies

Provide basic skills (e.g., reading, math, writing, English language, or soft skills) and industry-specific training with other supports; also called occupationally contextualized basic education programs

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

Provide occupation-specific training for low-skilled individuals in high-growth industries, with education and supports, usually with stackable credentials and work experience opportunities

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

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

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

Implement private sector rules or public sector regulations that prohibit smoking in and around multi-unit housing

Encourage participants to quit using tobacco by a set date or during a specific time period and give successful participants a chance to win financial rewards or other prizes; often called Quit & Win contests

Set the number, type, proximity, and density of tobacco retailers, especially near homes and schools, via state or local zoning, licensing restrictions, or other regulations

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
