Strategies

Provide information about contraception and protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in classroom or community settings

Provide condoms free of charge or at a reduced cost in community and school-based settings

Educate families about safe tap water temperatures during prenatal or well-baby visits at clinic or home visits; often with home safety checks or provision of home water temperature safety equipment

Provide messages that support physical activity to large and broad audiences using television, social media, radio, billboards, newspapers, and other print media

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates

Use educational, environmental, and behavioral strategies to improve food choices and physical activity opportunities in worksite settings, also called workplace health programs
