Strategies

Restrict the content and placement of alcohol advertisements on broadcasts, outdoor displays, internet marketing, etc. via state laws, local ordinances, industry self-regulation, or a combination of efforts

Establish locally mandated wages that are higher than state or federal minimum wage levels

Allow eligible patients to use marijuana for medical purposes; often called medical marijuana laws (MMLs)

Increase the lowest hourly, daily, or monthly compensation that employers may legally pay to workers

Support community members who are likely to encounter individuals who might overdose with education and training to administer naloxone and ensure all first responders are trained and authorized to administer naloxone

Provided work supports for low income individuals and families (e.g., job search assistance, transitional jobs, subsidized child care, health insurance, etc.); participants worked at least 30 hours/week

Use databases, housed in state agencies, to track prescribing and dispensing of Schedule II, III, IV, and V drugs and other controlled substances

Educate owners, managers, servers, and sellers at alcohol establishments about strategies to avoid illegally selling alcohol to underage youth or intoxicated patrons

Increase compensation provided to unemployed workers looking for jobs by expanding eligibility, amount, or duration of benefits
