The assumption is that constructive and healthy activities offset the attraction to, or otherwise meet the needs that may be fulfilled by, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Alternative activities also provide a means of character-building and may promote healthy relationships between youth and adults, in that participants may internalize the values and attitudes of the individuals involved in establishing the prevention services objectives. Examples of activities that may be promoted or conducted under this strategy include the following:
a. Drug-free dances and parties.

This strategy does not include activities designed to determine if a person is in need of treatment. Examples of activities that may be conducted and methods used in carrying out this strategy include the following:
a. Employee assistance programs.
b. Student assistance programs.
c. Educational programs for individuals charged with driving while under the influence or driving while intoxicated.
6. ‘Environmental.’ The prevention service shall establish community standards, codes, and attitudes, aimed at reducing the prevalence of at-risk behavior among the general population. Examples of methods that may be used in carrying out this strategy include the following:
a. Promoting the establishment and review of policies for schools, government, and civic groups related to the use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.
b. Providing technical assistance to communities to maximize local enforcement procedures governing availability and distribution of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
c. Reduce youth alcohol, tobacco, and drug exposure by modifying alcohol and tobacco advertising practices.
d. Supporting local enforcement procedures to limit violent behavior.
e. Establishing policies that create opportunities for youth to become involved in their communities.
7. ‘Community-based process.’ The prevention service shall implement processes that enhance the ability of the community to more effectively provide prevention services for behaviors that lead to substance use. Activities under this strategy include organizing, planning, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of services implementation, interagency collaboration, coalition building and networking. Examples of activities that may be conducted and methods used in carrying out this strategy include the following:
a. Community and volunteer training, such as neighborhood action training and training of key people in the system.
b. Systematic planning in the above prevention strategy areas.
c. Multi-agency coordination and collaboration.
d. Facilitating access to services and funding.
e. Active participation in a community prevention coalition.
