A7a: The actual implementation of programs identifying and remediating hazards has lagged behind our understanding of the hazard itself. New models of cross-sectoral or government+community partnerships are innovations that should be explored. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024
#NLPPWchat Q7: As a field, we have decades of experience in addressing lead hazards and responding to lead-exposed children. Are there still gaps in our knowledge? What are they? What kind of innovation does the field need? Who can help fill those gaps? #NLPPW2024 #LeadFreeKids

A2: Lead poisoning has serious impacts, but prevention is possible! Governments at all levels have a role they can play, whether through funding programs, implementing regulations, or community outreach. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024
#NLPPWchat Q2: It’s an election year. What do you want new or returning decision-makers at the local, state, and national levels to know about lead, and what do you want them to do about it? #NLPPW2024 #LeadFreeKids

A1: Our top messages are: (1) Know the sources of exposure and the harms (2) Connect with local and national healthy living resources, and (3) Act! Improving lead safety can be as simple as education and outreach, and as cheap as lead testing kits. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2024
#NLPPWchat Q1: HUD, CDC, and EPA’s key messages for National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week are (1) Get the Facts, (2) Get Your Child Tested, and (3) Get Your Home Tested. What are your top three messages about lead exposure and lead prevention and why? #LeadFreeKids
