Screening & Testing
The updated Texas Childhood Blood Lead Screening Guidelines now gives healthcare providers the option to use census tracts or zip codes to determine if a child lives in a targeted area.
Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, the following criteria was used to determine targeted areas:
• Areas with ≥27% of housing built before 1950, and
• Areas with ≥3% of children at ages 1 and 2 with elevated blood lead levels
Reporting, Laws & Administrative Code
In accordance with the Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 88, the Texas Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (TX CLPPP) implements the law by maintaining a registry of blood lead results, analyzing data, and conducting lead poisoning prevention activities.
The Texas Administrative Code (Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 37, Rule §37.334) requires the reporting of all blood lead levels, elevated and non-elevated, for children 14 years of age or younger. Physicians, laboratories, hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities must report all blood lead tests to the Texas Department of State Health Services, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
