| The purpose of this session is to discuss childhood lead poisoning and how we can prevent this from occurring in our communities. Presentations will discuss strategies used to test for childhood lead and the impact of lead surveillance. Examples include how Minnesota uses a Lead Testing Task Force and Philadelphia uses the Lead Abatement Strike Team to reduce childhood lead poisoning. These examples and others will show how surveillance, testing, and communication can reduce childhood lead levels. | |||
| Learning Objectives: The participants of this session will learn new techniques for the prevention of lead poisoning in children. Specifics will include lead testing and surveillance strategies, how to make childhood lead prevention a priority for policymakers.
