Visit the Healthy Homes website for different ways to obtain this information.

This information can be shared with County Healthy Departments, local day care centers, local doctor’s offices, or other collaborators handling these issues.

Whenever possible, please include the pre-test and post-test in your presentation(s). Tally the results for the presentation and forward the results to Cathy Burwell, ceb@purdue.edu. The information is made available via a grant from USDA-CREES & HUD’s Healthy Homes program. It is important that we show how the information has been used, and what audiences have been reached.
