In response to the increasing number of refugee children entering the US and subsequently developing elevated blood lead levels, ORR and the CDC developed this toolkit. The tool kit is divided into three sections: * Refugee Resettlement Worker Module- Provides information about the importance of identifying and determining possible lead hazards in the homes of newly arrived refugee children, assuring blood lead medical services to these children, and educating the refugee population on lead poisoning prevention. * Medical Provider Module- Provides information about CDC’s recommendation for identifying children with elevated blood lead levels and early post-arrival medical evaluation and therapy. * Resources- This section includes resources for refugee resettlement workers and medical providers such as frequently asked questions about CDC’s recommendations for lead poisoning prevention in newly arrived refugee children, fact sheets, training materials, links to childhood lead poisoning prevention organizations, and more.
