Proposed Project
Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Surveillance System (HHLPSS)--
New--National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)/Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The overarching goal of the Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning
Surveillance System (HHLPSS) is to establish Healthy Homes Surveillance
Systems at the state and national levels. Currently, 40 state and local
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP) report information
(e.g., presence of lead paint, age of housing, and type of housing) to
CDC via the National Blood Lead Surveillance System (NBLSS) (OMB No.
0920-0337, exp. 1/31/2012). The addition of a new panel of housing
questions would help to provide a more comprehensive picture of housing
stock in the United States and potentially modifiable risk factors.
The objectives for developing this system are two-fold. First, the
program would like to use surveillance data to estimate the extent of
housing-related injuries and asthma. This is important because it will
allow the program to systematically track the management and follow-up
of those residents with these health outcomes.
The next objective for the development of this system is to examine
potential housing-related risk factors. Childhood lead poisoning is
just one of many adverse health conditions that are related to common
housing deficiencies. Multiple hazards in housing, e.g., mold, vermin,
radon and the lack of safety devices, continue to adversely affect the
health of residents. It is in the interest of public health to expand
from a single focus on lead poisoning prevention to a coordinated,
comprehensive, and systematic approach to eliminating multiple housing-
related health hazards.
HHLPSS builds upon previous efforts by the NBLSS. While the earlier
NBLSS was focused on homes of children less than six years old, the new
HHLPSS, upon approval, will replace the NBLSS and will enable
flexibility to evaluate all homes, regardless of the presence of
children < age 6 years.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time.
