Strategies

Match disadvantaged or at-risk youth with volunteer mentors in school or community settings

Promote child bicycle helmet use via bicycle safety education, media campaigns, or provision of free or subsidized helmets

Establish clinics in retail stores that provide basic services for minor illnesses (e.g., sore throats or skin conditions) and procedures (e.g., immunizations, pregnancy testing, routine lab tests); also known as retail pharmacy, walk-in, or convenient care clinics

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds
