Strategies

Support a four-tiered approach to indoor pest control that minimizes potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Eliminate lead-based paint and contaminated dust by removing or encapsulating lead paint, or removing lead painted fixtures and surfaces

Provide home visiting services to low income, first time mothers and their babies, starting during pregnancy and continuing through a child’s second birthday

Engage community members to determine how public budgets are spent, ideally to improve neighborhood conditions and reduce inequality.

Promote walking and biking to school through education, incentives, and environmental changes; often called SRTS

Provide reminders, education, or self-management assistance for health conditions, especially chronic diseases, via text message

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones
