Strategies

Establish a break from the school day, typically before lunch, that involves planned, inclusive, actively supervised games or activities; also called semi-structured, or structured recess

Support acquisition of job-specific skills through education, certification programs, or on-the-job training, often with personal development resources and other supports

Use individual-, group-, and community-level interventions to provide education, support, and training that can affect social norms about HIV and other STIs

Assign higher costs to non-nutritious foods than nutritious foods via incentives, subsidies, or price discounts for healthy foods and beverages or disincentives or price increases for unhealthy choices

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

Provide condoms free of charge or at a reduced cost in community and school-based settings

Provide tailored health information and assistance with decision making, behavior change, and emotional support via digital interactive programs

Support organized social, art, or physical activities for school-aged youth outside of the school day

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

Combine educational, environmental, and behavioral activities that increase physical activity and improve nutrition (e.g., nutrition education, aerobic/strength training, dietary prescriptions, etc.) in various settings
