The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has developed and disseminated screening and testing guidelines to empower professionals in effectively identifying and managing lead exposure in children. These resources promote a change in practitioners' behaviors, leading to increased screening, education for parents, and identification of existing elevated blood lead (EBL) cases. As a result, parents are encouraged to take action, reducing lead exposure and ensuring that treatment and services are accessible for affected children and their families. Ultimately, this initiative aims to prevent future lead poisoning cases and lower blood lead levels in all children across Minnesota.
