Determining the lead poisoning risk level of children in the United States can now be done over the Web, as MSU researchers have developed a new site that aids in the process. The site allows users to enter contributing factors of lead poisoning, including the children's address, housing condition, family history of lead poisoning and socio-economic status and provides the user with a risk-assessment evaluation. The Web site already has gained acceptance from various Michigan lead poisoning awareness groups, including the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, a group that supports the coordination of lead poisoning prevention programs in Michigan. "The ideal result would be that medical clinics use this as the means of deciding who should be tested," said Stan Kaplowitz, MSU professor of sociology and one of the Web site's creators.
