Strategies

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

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees

Provide women with information about the risks and benefits of behaviors that affect their health before, during, and after pregnancy

Provide health care services on school premises to attending elementary, middle, and high school students; physical and mental health services provided by teams of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians
