What term describes prevention efforts that influence community conditions and policies to change behaviors?

The term that effectively describes prevention efforts aimed at influencing community conditions and policies to change behaviors is "Environmental Strategies." This approach focuses on modifying the surroundings and societal norms that impact individuals' choices and behaviors, thus creating an environment that promotes healthier practices and decisions.

By targeting the environment, these strategies may include changes to laws, policies, and physical spaces that facilitate or hinder certain behaviors, thereby encouraging positive behavioral changes at a community level. For instance, implementing policies that regulate the availability of harmful substances or providing safer spaces for recreational activities are practical examples of how environmental strategies work.

The other options, while related to prevention in their own contexts, do not specifically address the focus on community conditions and policies in the same direct manner. CSAP Strategies relate more generally to approaches endorsed by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention but do not solely emphasize environmental change. Resource Assessment is about evaluating existing resources rather than influencing behaviors through community changes. Social Marketing focuses on using marketing principles to promote behavioral change among individuals, again not directly aligned with the broader scope of community conditions and policy change.
