This publication offers a comprehensive collection of 70 "building
blocks," which are primary prevention strategies that merit
consideration by state and local governments and others in position
to reduce exposure to hazards in housing and thereby help meet the
Healthy People 2010 goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning.
Exemplary strategies span a broad spectrum which includes targeting
high-risk properties; widely instituting safe work practices;
building community capacity to check for hazards and work safety;
delivering hazard assessment, control and prevention services;
motivating action; screening high-risk housing; expanding financial
resources; strengthening enforcement; raising public awareness and
support; and establishing valuable partnerships. A strategy has
been considered for inclusion as a building block if it is
sensitive to the economics of affordable housing, consistent with
the principles of public health, holds the potential for
broad-scale impact, stands a reasonable possibility of
implementation, and offers promise for reducing lead and other
environmental health hazards in high-risk housing. The summary of
each building block is coupled with an illustration of how the
strategy has been implemented and contact information for at least
one individual who is knowledgeable about this activity. The
purpose of disseminating Building Blocks for Primary Prevention:
Protecting Children from Lead-Based Paint Hazards is to allow
programs and policymakers easy access to information about
innovative and promising strategies that span the spectrum of
primary prevention, from which they may select one or several to
pursue based on their jurisdiction's needs and political and
economic realities.
