Description
- Abstract
- Summarymontana has a rich history natural resource and energy development which began in the 1860S during the western gold rush and has continued through present day. Metals recovery has a legacy of smelting wastes and tailings with elevated lead and other metals in several montana communities. Additionally, many of montana?s cities began as mining towns in the 19TH century. An estimated 64% (332,000 of 520,000 homes) were built before 1980 when lead-based paint was banned (1978) and could be contaminated with lead paint. In addition to lead paint, lead service lines for drinking water may be common with older homes and aging infrastructure in many montana communities. The healthcare community in montana may not perceive a need to test patients for lead poisoning. A 2012 survey conducted by the montana department of public health and human services (dphhs) found that few providers screen medicaid-enrolled children according to program requirements, most providers (94%) believe there is low risk of lead poisoning in their area, and that the most common risk factor cited by providers is the age of the child?s home (71%). In 2019 and 2020, only 37 cases of elevated blood lead levels (BLL) among children < 6 years were reported to dphhs; dphhs may not be identifying 97% of medicaid-enrolled children with elevated BLL. Due to lack of funding, dphhs has not had an active lead poisoning prevention program for over a decade. Funding through this cooperative agreement will provide dphhs the resources to establish a montana childhood lead poisoning prevention and surveillance program (clppsp) which will consist of two staff, a program coordinator and an epidemiologist, with an annual budget of $300,000. The montana clppsp will use our childhood blood lead surveillance system to collect and report data to the CDC to support the following intermediate and long-term outcomes: 1) improved blood lead testing and reporting rates for children less than 6 years of age at risk for lead exposure; 2) improved the use of surveillance system data to capture missing data on child demographic and follow-up information; 3) decreased disparities in blood lead levels by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status; and 4)improved rates of children less than 6 years of age with elevated blood lead levels linked to recommended services. The montana clppsp will engage in secondary prevention activities of childhood lead poisoning to ensure blood lead testing, enhance blood lead surveillance and reporting, and improve linkages to recommended services. Key tasks dphhs aims to accomplish in project year 1 include: recruit and hire an epidemiologist, convening a lead advisory committee, publish a childhood lead poisoning prevention screening and testing strategic plan, update reportable conditions rules to include reports of all blood lead test results, ensure that dphhs?s surveillance system has the ability to collect and track follow-up and environmental information, contract with select local health jurisdictions to enhance activities for lead poisoning prevention by coordinating with community organizations that provide services to mitigate the effects of elevated blood lead levels and connect children with elevated blood lead levels to recommended medical, environmental, and social services. During project years 2?5, dphhs aims to continue and expand many of the activities started in project year 1.
