Description:

Objective:

The objective of this research project is to provide information about residential environmental hazards. A cross-sectional, stratified study design will be used for this project. All children who are younger than 5 years of age and have a venipuncture blood sample taken at the Babies Milk Fund Clinic will be eligible for this study. Stratification will be used to enroll about 33 percent of the sample with blood lead concentrations of below 5 μg/dL, 33 percent between 5 to 10 μg/dL, and 33 percent with 10 μg/dL or higher.
