Childhood lead exposure and poisoning is a sustained public health concern that affects half a million children in the United States. Consequences associated with lead exposure include decreased impulse control, learning difficulties, and conduct disorders. Pediatricians are in a unique position to offer anticipatory guidance, identify and treat the condition, educate, and advocate for policies that protect children. This webinar from the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) will build awareness of and capacity for lead screening among pediatricians and pediatric and non-physician clinicians. Specifically, this webinar will address: pediatric lead exposure as a present-day public health concern, the importance of screening and testing, and community level approaches to decreasing pediatric lead exposure. This Webinar is free of charge, however prior registration is required.
