Strategies

Expand broadband availability and adoption in unserved and underserved areas through initiatives that address infrastructure and cost barriers

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

Encourage methods of soil cultivation that keep at least one-third of cultivated soil covered with the previous year’s crop residue (e.g., mulch till, ridge till, strip till, or no-till)

Introduce a short-term family-based intervention therapy focused on strengths, protective factors, and risk factors for youth with delinquency, violence, or substance abuse problems, and their families

Use helmets to absorb, dissipate, and reduce impact forces to an athlete’s head and brain during collisions or falls

Support a four-tiered approach to outdoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Use an intensive, family- and community-based intervention that addresses individual, family and environmental risk factors that affect antisocial behaviors among serious juvenile offenders

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Educate youth and college athletes, coaches, and parents about the severity of concussions in sports, proper prevention, detection, reporting, and treatment

Support a trauma-informed juvenile justice system to recognize and respond to trauma’s impact on youth through staff training and broad adoption of trauma-informed practices and policies
