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

About this dataset

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.
