Provide industry-focused education and job training based on the needs of regional employers within specific sectors

Implement private sector rules or public sector regulations that prohibit smoking outdoors or restrict it to designated areas

Provide objective, normative information to reduce college students’ misperceptions about alcohol use and, ultimately, change their drinking behavior

Provide short-term employment opportunities for youth, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds
