Rhode Island Department of Health, Division of Family Health, Childhood Lead Database, November, 1996. Core cities are Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Newport and Central Falls. | ||||||
|
Data for the 1998 kindergarten class reflect the number of RI children screened positive for lead poisoning as of November 30, 1996. These data are for children eligible to enter school in the Fall of 1998 (i.e. born between 9/1/92 and 8/31/93). Due to Rhode Island law requiring universal lead screening for children under six, lead screening results for close to 100% of Rhode Island children in the specified age groups are included in this indicator. | ||||||
|
The denominator is the number of children entering school in the fall of 1998 who were screened for lead poisoning. | ||||||
