Strategies

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

Offer young children opportunities to eat healthy foods and engage in physical activity by providing fresh fruits and vegetables, incorporating physical activity into daily classroom routines, etc.

Place motivational signs on posters, front of package labels, or shelf labels near fruits, vegetables, and other items that encourage individuals to purchase healthier food options

Make health care facilities’ health care-associated or hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates readily available to patients and providers

Increase the minimum and/or maximum age boundaries for youth to be processed in the juvenile justice system

Provide nutrition information on menus and signboards at restaurants and other food outlets

Conduct individual assessments that gauge older adults’ risk of falling and develop personalized approaches to help prevent falls

Regulate the quality of food that can be sold to students through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), à la carte options, vending machines, etc.

Address nutrition in schools via educational (e.g., classroom or curricula-wide efforts, peer training, etc.), environmental (e.g., school menus, classroom snacks, etc.), and other approaches

Encourage children to spend time away from TV and other stationary screen media, often as part of a multi-faceted effort to increase physical activity and improve nutrition
