Strategies

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

Expand court-referred intimate partner violence offenders’ understanding of abuse, teach alternative reactions, and work to change gender role attitudes; also called batterer intervention programs (BIPs)

Provide immunity from arrest, charge, or prosecution for drug possession or paraphernalia when individuals experiencing or witnessing drug overdose summon emergency services

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