The general belief that lead exposure only occurs in low-income neighborhoods and in older houses will be challenged. Policy development to address the high rate of childhood lead poisoning in Rochester, New York will be presented. Findings from the Wisconsin Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program's blood lead surveillance system study will be discussed. The partnership of the City of Philadelphia's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and the National Nursing Centers Consortium to provide Lead Safe Babies will be presented. The use of GIS technology to prevent lead poisoning in Mississippi will be discussed. The link educational outcomes and lead exposure will be addressed as a result of the CHildren's Environmental Health Initiative at Duke University. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: Name an unexpected pathway of lead exposure in the home; List three challenges facing collaborative efforts to develop precautionary policies; Identify the average length of time for homes to be considered lead-safe; Recognize the usefulness of GIS Technology in identifying children at-risk for lead poisoning; Understand the effect of early childhood lead exposure on performance on end of grade tests later in life. | |||
