Enhancing Lead Poisoning Prevention: Guidelines for Screening and Testing in Minnesota

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has developed, disseminated, and promoted screening and testing guidelines aimed at improving lead exposure identification and prevention. By equipping professionals with necessary resources, these guidelines facilitate behavioral changes that increase screening rates and educational outreach for parents. This initiative leads to a rise in testing, identification of existing elevated blood lead (EBL) cases, and actionable steps for parents to mitigate lead exposure. Comprehensive treatment and services are available for affected children and families, with future prevention measures in place to reduce blood lead levels and decrease lead poisoning incidents in Minnesota.
