Strategies

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

Increase patients’ health-related knowledge via efforts to simplify health education materials, improve patient-provider communication, and increase overall literacy

Support use of in-vehicle devices that alert novice teen drivers when they have high g-force events (e.g., rapid acceleration, braking, or turning) and allow families to review driving performance

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