The Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs (AMCHP) is pleased to share its new, interactive MCH Lead Toolkit. This resource was developed to help public health professionals access lead poisoning prevention resources, strategies, tools, and ideas that they can replicate or adapt in their states and communities.

Easy navigation to meet your needs – you choose how you go through the toolkit and which sections you use
Interactive action center organized by focus areas for systems change (Family Engagement and Partnership, Clinical Settings, and more!)
Case studies from nine state teams that tested out innovative practices and quality improvement methods
Tip sheets and resources
Searchable resource index
This toolkit was designed for anyone who works in local and state health departments, but it will also be of interest and use to state and local decision makers, public health and environmental health professionals and leaders, students, policymakers, and anyone interested in decreasing maternal and child exposure to lead and increasing systems of care to meet the needs of lead-exposed MCH populations.
You can access the toolkit at www.MCHLeadToolkit.org. You may also contact [email protected] for additional questions or information requests.
