Abstract
Children in St. Louis have lead poisoning rates 4 times the national average and are at risk for neurodevelopment disabilities including decreased intelligence and increased behavioral dysfunction. Current strategies to prevent lead poisoning rely on identification of poisoned children, then treating homes to prevent further damage. Primary prevention prevents lead poisoning prior to irreparable brain damage. The Heavy Metal Project assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of screening and remediating lead hazards prenatally in a high risk population.
