 California, during the last decade, enacted landmark legislation to prevent childhood lead poisoning. This legislation has established the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) a children's environmental health program offering multi-layered solutions to this complex problem.
 California Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch: Provider Outreach
 CLPPP

The Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) provides services to the community for the purpose of increasing awareness regarding the hazards of lead exposure and working towards an increase in the number of children tested for blood lead poisoning. The CLPPP program offers home visitation, environmental home inspections and nutritional assessments to families of severely lead-poisoned children. The CLPPP provides telephone contacts and educational materials to families of lead-poisoned children. The CLPPP provides information and education to the general public, medical providers and community-based organizations.
