A key part of addressing the opioid crisis (and addiction in general) is to have a multi-faceted plan to reduce the factors that lead to people intentionally misusing medications or taking drugs and to increase the protective factors that reduce the likelihood of going down the path that leads to a Substance Use Disorder.

Background
This strategy is an important aspect of prevention. Some of the types of things that improve protective factors (or reduce the other factors that lead to misuse) include:
- Minimizing and addressing trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences to reduce the likelihood of self-medication
- Reducing bullying and improving social healthy connections
- The Search Institute identifys a framework of 40 developmental assets that lead to positive youth development
