Childhood Lead Poisoning: 10-Year Prevalence in Top 5 Cities

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 the 10-year prevalence in Connecticut's top five cities.

自2009年1月1日起，康涅狄格州法律规定，医疗提供者必须对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，若此前未进行过检测，其医疗提供者亦须对其进行检测。本数据集涵盖了康涅狄格州前五大城市的十年间患病率。
