As part of Ohio’s effort to reduce pediatric exposure to lead, the State Medical Board of Ohio and the Ohio Department of Health have jointly issued a new video outlining blood lead testing guidelines for children.
Ohio law requires primary care physicians and other primary health care professionals to administer blood lead tests to at-risk children. The new video provides information about risk factors, screening, and medical management of lead poisoning.
Completion of the video module is not mandatory, but medical professionals are strongly encouraged to watch. The video will guide you through the blood lead testing requirements.
