2020 Iowa County Lead Report Cards
In 2020, Iowa tested 3% fewer children under 6 years of age for a statewide testing rate of 22 percent, compared to 25 percent in 2019. Similar decreases in the rate of testing occurred in children 2 and 3 years of age, while testing rates of children 1 year in age increased from 68 percent to 70 percent. Statewide blood lead testing rates continued to fall below the below the state goal of 75 percent for children 1 and 2 years in age.
County lead report cards provide blood lead testing rates and lead risk factor information on all 99 counties and the state as a whole. Each report card includes key data points on the front and educational information about the effects of lead poisoning on the back. Report cards for each county can be printed and handed out to medical providers, clinicians, local public health officials, and other child health service providers as a way to increase awareness about the health impacts of lead poisoning on children.
The 2020 Iowa county lead report cards were developed in collaboration with the Iowa Childhood Lead Advisory Workgroup (CLAW), Iowa Institute of Public Health Research and Policy, and the Iowa Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
