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

自2009年1月1日起，康涅狄格州法律规定，医疗机构必须对9至35个月大的儿童进行年度铅筛查（即血液铅检测）。此外，该法律还要求，对于36至72个月大的儿童，无论风险如何，若其此前未进行过检测，也必须由儿童的医疗机构进行检测。本数据集包含了康涅狄格州儿童铅筛查的多种指标，包括：按出生队列的筛查数量和比率、人口统计学特征（年龄、性别、种族/民族）、暴露极限水平（EBLL）、来源危害、油漆与非油漆危害以及相对风险-发病率百分比。
