Description:Each year, National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (NLPPW) is a call to bring together individuals, organizations, industry, and state, tribal, and local governments to increase lead poisoning prevention awareness in an effort to reduce childhood exposure to lead.
NLPPW highlights the many ways parents can reduce children’s exposure to lead in their environment and prevent its serious health effects. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and our partners work to heighten awareness of lead poisoning, provide resources, and encourage preventive actions during NLPPW and beyond.
This year NLPPW takes place October 25-31, 2020.
This information kit is a starting point in developing customized messaging to meet the needs of different communities. Our partners are a vital resource in spreading awareness about NLPPW. The support of partners helps reach target audiences and broadens the range of techniques for educating communities, families, and individuals. Because communities can have different risks for childhood exposure to lead, a “one-size-
fits-all” approach is not effective. For example, one community may have many lead renovations being conducted, possibly exposing young children to lead during the renovations and from sources brought home from workplaces. Another community may have lead in drinking water issues, and yet
another community may be faced with children exposed to lead from a contaminated waste site.
The purpose of the information kit is to help partners prepare and promote activities or events at the local level. It has been created to assist partners with messaging, implementation ideas, and resources. Many of these resources can be customized to reach a wide variety of audiences, including parents, caregivers, contractors, hardware stores, trade associations, the media, and others. This allows partners an opportunity to select and tailor information that “works” in their local community, including cultural factors and other unique considerations.
