Description
- Abstract
- Summarylead poisoning is a common, preventable childhood environmental health problem in the united states. The impact of lead within the body has been well documented with research indicating no threshold free from adverse effects. According to the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), ?no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to affect IQ, ability to pay attention, and academic achievement. And effects of lead exposure cannot be corrected?. (CDC, 2019) common risk factors for lead exposure in wyoming include natural environmental exposures, older homes with lead paint, foundries, old shooting ranges, and a large population of hunters who reload rifle and shotgun shells for their own use. Based upon known lead risk factors and the rural and frontier nature of the state, the risk of childhood lead exposure cannot be isolated to a specific population or geographic region. Furthermore, wyoming lacks current capacity to collect, analyze, and use lead data to inform a risk based screening system. In the absence of a risk-based screening plan, the wyoming department of health, public health division (WDH-PHD) currently recommends universal childhood lead screening at 12 and 24 months of age for all children. The WDH-PHD does not currently fund blood lead surveillance and prevention activities. However, blood lead test results are a reportable disease/condition in wyoming and all blood lead test results are required to be reported to WDH-PHD. All follow-up on elevated lead test results received by WDH-PHD is currently conducted by existing WDH-PHD staff who maintain additional primary job duties. Although WDH-PHD does not currently fund a dedicated lead program, WDH-PHD staff and stakeholders including medicaid, WIC, public health nursing, providers, etc. Have met intermittently for the past two years to discuss collaborative efforts to improve childhood LE ad screening and prevention activities, setting the stage for current interest in this grant opportunity.if awarded, WDH-PHD will implement the core component a activities required under this funding opportunity in order to develop and maintain an active, ongoing, and sustainable statewide surveillance system for children with elevated blood lead levels. WDH-PHD will reach all children less than 6 years of age with a total estimated reach of 34,240 wyoming children based upon CDC population estimates. (CDC wonder, 2021)
