He/she will identify at-risk geographic areas for childhood lead poisoning; evaluate the timeliness and efficacy of case management of children with elevated blood lead levels; collaborate with the University of Tennessee Extension (UT Ext) LeadTRK Team to ensure Tennessee lead data meet CDC’s quality requirements and are submitted by CDC’s deadlines; document the burden of lead poisoning among Tennessee children and present lead poison findings at the CLPPP Advisory Meetings; provide data support to the Newborn Screening Program when needed; and respond to other data-related requests received by the Division.
