Strategies

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

Offer programs to help individuals without a high school diploma or its equivalent achieve a high school equivalency credential

Coordinate efforts to reduce risky sexual behavior among adolescents with work, vocational training, or sports

Support a combination of land uses (e.g., residential, commercial, recreational) in development initiatives, often through zoning regulations or Smart Growth initiatives

Support initiatives that combine multiple components such as education, skills building, and contraceptive promotion to reduce pregnancy among youth

Provide physical infrastructure (e.g., bike parking or showers), educational or social support (e.g., walking groups), and financial incentives that support active commuting

Establish roads that avoid built-up areas such as towns, cities, or commercial/business districts

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

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

Provide industry-focused education and job training based on the needs of regional employers within specific sectors
