The priority areas for year 2000 Health Grants are: 

strategies that improve health by reducing risk-taking behaviour among young people (for example: unsafe sex, excessive alcohol use and exposure to safety hazards);

strategies that address self-care of health enhancement behaviours among children and adults (for example: physical activity, nutrition, medication use and reduced exposure to second-hand smoke).
