Despite this, young adults are less likely to receive prevention messages at this age than when they are in high school. One problem is that there are no universal institutions such as junior high or high schools that can reach all young adults. The authors recommend community programs aimed at young adults, more contact between young adults and medical professionals, and a change in social norms in order to foster more conversations between young adults and family members or friends. It is designed to be a source of information and to help schools and school districts deal with these issues. The guide defines and describes harassment and hate crimes, contains information about applicable laws, details specific positive steps that schools can take to prevent and respond to harassment, includes sample policies and procedures used by school districts in the United States, and identifies additional resource materials.
