Proposed Project

    1. Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Quarterly Report 
(0902-0282)--Extension--Lead poisoning is the most common and societal 
devastating environmental disease of young children in the United 
States. Severe lead exposure can cause coma, convulsions, and even 
death. Lower levels of lead, which rarely cause symptoms, can result in 
decreased intelligence, developmental disabilities, and behavioral 
disturbances. State and community health agencies are the principal 
delivery points for childhood lead screening and related medical and 
environmental management activities. In FY 1996, CDC awarded 40 grants 
to fund childhood lead poisoning prevention programs. The primary 
purpose of these grants is for the initiation or expansion of state- 
and community-based childhood lead poisoning prevention programs that 
do the following: (1) Screen infants and children for elevated blood 
lead levels, (2) assure referral for treatment of, and environmental 
intervention for, infants and children with elevated blood lead levels, 
and (3) to provide education about childhood lead poisoning. The 
purpose of the quarterly report is to report data collected by CDC's 
grantees. The report consists of narrative and data sections. The 
purpose of the narrative section is to provide the following: (1) 
Highlights of quarterly activities, (2) discuss issues and activities 
that have significant impact on the program, (3) list objectives and 
discuss progress towards meeting those objectives. The purpose of the 
data section is to provide the following: (1) Screening and case 
confirmation activities, (2) environmental inspection and hazard 
remediation activities, and (3) medical case management activities. The 
total annual burden hours are 320.
