Strategies

Support use of in-vehicle devices that alert novice teen drivers when they have high g-force events (e.g., rapid acceleration, braking, or turning) and allow families to review driving performance

Pair new nurses with more experienced nurses who act as a resource and provide support as the new nurse establishes her or himself professionally

Pair youth at risk for delinquent behavior with mentors to develop relationships and spend time at regular meetings for an extended period; mentors have greater knowledge, skills, etc. than mentees

Support the efforts of neighborhood residents to work together in preventing crime by reporting suspicious or potentially criminal behavior to local law enforcement

Implement programs that continue education, mentoring, and support for novice nurses following graduation

Support site-specific plans for crop production that match nutrient applications to crop needs, typically with agricultural best management practices

Establish roads that avoid built-up areas such as towns, cities, or commercial/business districts

Require employers in an affected jurisdiction to provide paid time off for employees to use when ill or injured

Provide women with information about the risks and benefits of behaviors that affect their health before, during, and after pregnancy

Expand medical school training and learning experiences focused on the skills necessary to practice successfully in rural areas
