Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention:
Improving Blood Lead Testing and Reporting in Colorado’s Children

 

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention: Improving Blood Lead Testing and Reporting in Colorado’s Children is a four-session ECHO series designed to increase blood lead testing and reporting rates among providers across Colorado. The content was developed for primary care providers who serve Medicaid and at-risk patients.
