Childhood Lead Poisoning
As of January 1, 2009, Connecticut law mandates that medical providers must conduct annual lead screening (i.e., blood lead testing) for each child 9 to 35 months of age. Furthermore, the law requires that any child between 36-72 months of age who has not been previously tested must also be tested by the child’s medical provider, regardless of risk.
This dataset includes various metrics about childhood lead screening in Connecticut, including:
Screening numbers and rates by birth cohort
Demographic characteristics (age, gender, race/ethnicity)
EBLL
Hazard by source
Paint vs non-paint hazard
Relative Risk -% Incidence
