The Nevada Childhood
Lead Poisoning Prevention Program
|
The Nevada Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (NvCLPPP) aims to eliminate one of the most preventable environmental outcomes in children – lead poisoning.
Many people think that lead exposure is not a problem in Western states like Nevada because much of our housing is newer. However, older homes exist in our state, and lead exposure may come from many other sources, such as imported spices, toys, jewelry, cultural items, and parents whose occupations or hobbies may bring lead into the home.
Lead exposure can result in lower IQ and impulse control, slowed growth and development, and hearing and speech problems. Often times a child may have no symptoms. Therefore, it’s important that children get tested at 12 and 24 months, or at least once before they turn six. We want all children to have the opportunity to start school ready to learn and to succeed.

The Lactation Counselor Training Course is a comprehensive, evidence based, breastfeeding management course with a strong focus on clinical counseling and assessment skills. Participants build on theoretical foundations to gain practical skills and verify competency as well as optimizing their ability to solve basic and complex clinical breastfeeding issues. This college level course prepares participants for professional work in the hospital, in public health, and community settings.
The Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) is the premier national certification in Lactation Management for the United States. CLC certification holders have demonstrated competence in the clinical lactation skills and knowledge that are essential to help breastfeeding families. CLCs can provide assessment, counseling, and interventions for optimal and sub-optimal breastfeeding. The CDC refers to CLCs as lactation professionals who are members of the health care team (2014 Breastfeeding Report Card). Research has shown that the education required of CLCs prior to certification is associated with improved breastfeeding exclusivity and duration. The Certified Lactation Counselor
Certification is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) based on the ISO/ IEC 17024 standard.

Health How to Improve Access to Care for Teens
|
|
Ensuring adolescents have access to high-quality, teen-friendly healthcare is one of the
Five Essentials for Healthy Adolescents
identified in the national call to action,
Adolescent Health: Think, Act, Grow®
(TAG). Without access to high-quality, teen-friendly services, some adolescents may be unable to meet their immediate healthcare needs and may not establish the healthy habits that can lead to better outcomes later in life.
Adolescents may face a range of external
barriers to accessing the healthcare
they need. These barriers can include challenges with navigating the healthcare system, concerns about privacy and confidentiality, shortages of providers, conflicts with school and work schedules, unavailability of adults to escort them to appointments, and financial challenges. Read
TAG Research Reviews
for more information on adolescents’ access to healthcare and other essential components of adolescent health.
The
TAG Playbook
includes a number of actions that healthcare providers and other professionals can take to improve adolescents’ access to healthcare. For example, healthcare providers and public health professionals can:
- Co-locate health services with other programs aimed at youth or at locations where youth naturally congregate, such as schools or local community centers, to increase the likelihood that teens will access the care they need.
- Ensure that clinics are welcoming and that services are up to date on the latest adolescent health and development practices.
- Ask adolescent patients how healthcare providers can better meet their needs and help facilitate a smooth transition to adult healthcare settings.
- Partner with other community stakeholders to promote and share resources with adolescents and their families.
Healthy People 2020
discusses several goals related to adolescent health, including the need to increase the proportion of adolescents that received a wellness checkup in the past 12 months.
OAH sponsors the
TAG in Action: Successful Strategies for Improving Adolescent Health

Around 3,500 babies die from sleep-related deaths every year. We can change those numbers by having better conversations with caregivers about what safe sleep recommendations look like and why following them can save a baby's life.
To help support and spark those conversations, take
this
video quiz that reviews recommended safe sleep practices. The quiz is not a test; instead, it is an interactive teaching tool to help health professionals engage families in conversations about what safe sleep looks like and why it is important.
