Right, follow-up is a different issue-

I'm working with Emily right now to make the edits suggested - good suggestions! We definitely have space limitations, but will fit in what we can, such as lead hazards in other places the child spends significant time. Note that this document is primarily focused on prevention, not on follow-up post-testing - | will check our toolkit to see if we have something specific to that. As a program, we are really trying to shift from reacting after a child is exposed to educating families BEFORE exposure happens. In other words, stop using the child as the test for lead in the home. That said, whether prevention or steps taken post-testing, the primary focus is to reduce exposure to the lead hazards, so the steps described on this document are appropriate in both cases. | will also add that we are making these documents available electronically, rather than printing and storing and shipping brochures. We are trying to make them easy for anybody to print and use, from a home computer, or in a primary care provider office, or wherever.

ooh, definitely like the friends part...if it fits....that may be after they find out if there is a problem--?

| can't remember if we have another document on this, but since this is going out to parents, do we want to include a few lines on what happens when you have a high lead level? | know we have specific brochures on eating the right foods, etc. Also, do we want to include a line that indicates these lead sources may be in your home or caregivers homes 1 xxxEND_PAGE:dhhs02_b1312_4855_4858_1 004856 where your child visits or is cared for? Just a thought.... since some of the children spend many hours away from their home base.
