Hi all
In my work life we just received an EPA grant to work with a couple of pediatric
primary care clinics to develop a pilot stepwise screening model for universal
lead exposure screening and risk-based blood lead level testing for kids under
5. We are working with a small community-based agency who has not seen this sort
of graduated waiting room screening process. It has been several years since I
worked on this sort of stuff related to smoking and exercise and so I am
wondering if anyone can point me to some good models on the web for such a
process. The content area is not important.
I know I can do a google search on this but thought I would ask if anyone had
something at his/her fingertips first.
Thanx!

Each time we stand up for an idea, we send forth a tiny ripple of hope, and
that, together, those ripples can build a current that can sweep down the
mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. You can create that current, and
you can start today. This is America, after all. We are more than a place. We
are an idea. An idea that has changed the world and will change it again and
again. We are freedom, equality and respect. A beacon once lit that can never be
put out.” Join the Campaign to Change America http://johnedwards.com/action/contribute/mygrassroots/?page_id=Mjg1NjM
